Beginning C for Arduino, Second Edition: Learn C Programming for the Arduino

Beginning C for Arduino, Second Edition is written for those who have no prior experience with microcontrollers or programming but would like to experiment and learn both. Updated with new projects and new boards, this book introduces you to the C programming language, reinforcing each programming structure with a simple demonstration of how you can use C to control the Arduino family of microcontrollers. Author Jack Purdum uses an engaging style to teach good programming techniques using examples that have been honed during his 25 years of university teaching.

Beginning C for Arduino, Second Edition will teach you:

• The C programming language
• How to use C to control a microcontroller and related hardware
• How to extend C by creating your own libraries, including an introduction to object-oriented programming

During the course of the book, you will learn the basics of programming, such as working with data types, making decisions, and writing control loops. Youll then progress onto some of the trickier aspects of C programming, such as using pointers effectively, working with the C preprocessor, and tackling file I/O. Each chapter ends with a series of exercises and review questions to test your knowledge and reinforce what you have learned.

What you’ll learn

• The syntax of the C programming language as defined for the Arduino
• Tried and true coding practices (applicable to any programming language)
• How to design, code, and debug programs that drive Arduino microcontrollers
• How to extend the functionality of C
• How to integrate low cost, off-the-shelf, hardware shields into your own projects

Who this book is for
The book is aimed at a complete novice with no programming background. It assumes no prior programming or hardware design experience and is written for creative and curious people who would like to blend a software and hardware learning experience into a single, enjoyable endeavor.

Beginning Arduino ov7670 Camera Development

Beginning Arduino ov7670 Camera Development

This book is a great investment for those interested in developing camera related projects for the Arduino. These camera applications can involve security, surveillance, photography, toys, robots, and drones. Specifically, this book covers the Omnivision ov7670 digital camera and its use with the Arduino microcontroller. This book takes an interactive hands on approach and shows the reader in a step by step guide how to use the ov7670 with the Arduino and an SD card reader/writer to take photos, save them to an SD card, and then to convert them to an easily viewable format. This book will save you many hours or even weeks of frustration in trying to get this camera to work correctly. This book also gives you the basic background on the Arduino and digital cameras in general so that you will be able to develop camera projects for cameras other than the ov7670.

Who this book is for:
1. Beginners to the Arduino interested in developing custom Arduino camera related projects that are suitable for photography, surveillance, security applications or for use with drones and robots.
2. High school and university students needing a quick start guide to using a low cost digital camera in their school projects.

Key Selling Points:
1. Provides an interactive "hands on example" based beginners quick start guide to using the extremely popular Omnivision ov7670 camera with the Arduino including using the undocumented features and incorrectly documented features that are necessary to get the camera to operate correctly.
2. Provides a good starting point for Arduino based camera applications as diverse as image processing, photography, surveillance, and home security with professional quality reusable code for the reader to use in his or her own projects.
3. Covers the FIFO version of the ov7670 which is the preferred camera version for most camera projects.
