[@StephenGillie]

My favorite thing to do with an Arduino is hook up an ultrasonic distance sensor and a relay shield, and plug an RC car into the relays. Then a one-liner in the loop to Map distanceFromWall to motorOutput, so it slows as it approaches a wall and stops just before. Map is a cool function that scales a value from between one set of ranges to between another set of ranges, vastly simplifying scaling arbitrary outputs with arbitrary inputs.

[@tobbleboii5988]

one thing i always wondered is why they made the map function using long as in and putput type, rather than float or double (or better yet, auto) it took us a while to figure out why we couldn't use it to map the analog input to a voltage. The remedy was to look up the map function of arduino online, copy it into your code and replace all long with float. It makes voltage reading so much more accurate

[@Djellowman]

Why would you use ultrasonic instead of an optical sensor?

[@3Rton]

@@Djellowman wouldn't using optical sensor imply a lot more variables. E.g. if your lightsource is behind the car its own shadow will reach the wall before the sensor does so you'd get stop at different distances from the wall based on the environment lighting.

The language itself is a custom C++ compiler that compiles to the instruction set of ATMega328P microcontroller and variants. I have written many arduino programs using C++ classes and making objects out of them.

[@pavfrang]

It is not a custom C++ compiler, it is the commonly used gcc. Depending on the architecture, the gcc variant is used, e.g. avr-gcc for the AVR CPUs. Yes, the default language is the C++ and more specifically C++11. Indeed, a bunch of header files is also included to allow every functionality of the microcontroller - however, this does not "change the language" technically.

[@savejeff15]

its not even a custom c++ compiler. the .ino file is just rearranged to have all the functions at the top. i would also say that as there are Arduino cores for almost all architectures, Arduino is basically a standardized hardware abstraction

Big brain thinking!

[@pavfrang]

You are wrong on this . It is not C and it is not a "C variant". It is pure C++. You can write a class definition (in the .ino or using a .h file), and obviously there are no classes in C. The default compiler is C++11 (try using some C++11 features to verify it!). There are some classes too, like the String, Serial class, which are different from the STL classes. If you check the headers internally, you can find out the classic main function which is the entry point. If it were a new language it would require a custom-made compiler. The compiler is the avr-gcc (for AVR chips), which is plain gcc for the AVR CPU. To conclude, there is no such thing as "Arduino C" obviously - and most people are completely unaware of that. It's just C++ with some headers and class definitions which you cannot see (without searching!).

[@doigt6590]

Not necessarily. The way a language is implemented is up to the implementer. The fact you can use C++ with Arduino code or that the Arduino code itself is in C++ doesn't prove that Wiring (the original name of the language) isn't a language and if you read anything on the subject, it is clearly the author's intent and effect that Wiring (now known as Arduino) is a programming language. You can, for example, implement Pascal using C++ Macros. Does that make it not a language because you can use this hypothetical Pascal with C++? No because you still need the implementation to actual use that hypothetical Pascal. The same is true with Arduino. Also the custom-made compiler things is a very silly idea as C and C++ have both been compiled by other language compilers apart from their own. You can write C code in C++ for christ sake! Does that make the C++ language fake, an illusion? It's a completely ridiculous concept. The only thing I can agree on would be saying ino is a C variant. It is technically true, but it is misleading. Though it's not the first time that there's misinformation about the Arduino going about. Most of the world is grossly misinformed about the arduino's history for example.

[@pavfrang]

@@doigt6590 based on your terminology, whenever you add your custom library (headers + implementation) in C++ you define a new language. So every program is a new language? I think your aspect is a way of viewing things in general. Even this way, I would call this a C++ extension, not a C extension. If you compile your code as pure C it will not compile - it will compile as C++ only. I am talking about the default Arduino IDE and compilers that it uses obviously. The creator has not created his own compiler and does not interpret the code using his own tools - he uses a plain commonly used C++ compiler, so this is the way that code is interpreted in the end.

[@doigt6590]

@@pavfrang Your dodging the points is not addressing the points. What specific terminology did I use that makes it so broad? I never said nor implied anything you said I said. Something tells me you're not reading what I posted so I'm just going to ignore anything along the lines of this again if you don't read my post. I think you'll agree it's infuriating when people don't take the time to read what you say despite taking the time to respond... and going by the length of your post, you don't have a lot to say, probably because you don't know and you're not actually addressing any point I made. As for compilers being used as libraries, if for some reason that ever comes up again, just so you know it's not a new concept and has been something going on for a while in many programming languages. Also last question, can you compile your ino code without any arduino tooling? Yeah I thought so, you must be using wizardry.

I just bought arduino nano and MKR 1400 a week ago. I`m going to develop a carsharing service and will build gps tracker with arduino. Thanks for the video, dude you are awesome !

[@azlan2907]

YUP! We definitely want more hardware dev content

[@grapy83]

Wow. Best Arduino introduction ever 💪

[@danielfernandes1010]

The Arduino was what introduced me to programming. Was really into electronics for most of my childhood, the Arduino changed everything.

[@austinmajeski9427]

Could you do one about the ESP32 chips? (like the popular esp32-C3 by Espressif Systems)

[@Bobbyhiddn]

Cool! I’m about to start working with a Raspberry Pico and I was considering getting an Arduino as well to compare.

[@vicradon]

Pico is easy to use as it uses Micropython which is just Python for hardware.

[@everyhandletaken]

They are quite different by design..

adding this to my resume now

Me, a controls engineer: "There's no one on KZbin that makes any fun controls videos, I should bootleg Jeff's style of video for this sort of content." Fireship: Arduino in 100 seconds Me: Shit

[@teamllr3137]

If anyone is wondering, in the professional world, engineering directly manipulate registers because its faster

[@nonstandarduser_]

The smaller arduino nanos can also be an excellent 'USB converter', enabling all sorts of things through direct serial communication with a computer via USB.

I would love to see more Hardware topics here!

[@hamidr8391]

I started from arduino, and now I am a javascript developer.

Back when I was in primary school, we used something similar, but the board was the size of an A4 paper and the programs had to be written in assembly and uploaded through a serial port.

[@PabTSM-OfficialChannel]

assembly, on PRIMARY SCHOOL?????????? "alright class so after we learn our abcs we'll learn how to allocate memory slots"

[@Imevul]

@@PabTSM-OfficialChannel Swedish primary school was 9 years when I went (from 6-7 years of age), and was divided into lower (year 1-3), middle (4-6), and higher (7-9) tiers. The assembly coding would've been near the end of year 6 or the beginning of year 7 I think, so I would've been around 13-14 at the time. Not the first programming course either.

Wanna see more hardware dev content so I hitted the like button

[@FranoGames]

we learn arduino in class. a bunch of 13 year olds learning c++ as their first language is certainly a good idea. (arduino is basically c++ with custom compiler)

[@kebien6020]

Not even a custom compiler, it's a custom wrapper around a regular C++ compiler (GCC if I remember correctly)

[@xddd-.-.]

Please make a 100-second video about ESP or ARM-based commercial microcontroller solutions.

[@varunahlawat9013]

Yesss yessss yesss more hardware related content!

[@Mike-tb2hw]

All I know this is the one computing channel AI is not gonna replace. Fantastic as always! 🎉

[@vibaj16]

what if it's already an AI?

[@micmacha]

@@vibaj16 What if... I'M already an AI!?!?

[@j0131n]

Very timely, I've been wanting to learn this.

[@heisenbergstayouttamyterri1508]

Arduino + Python( mainly packages) = Iron Man level Technology

[@codedpirater]

Finally u got this one ❤️ fireship 🔥

[@disguisedpuppy]

I think youtube knows me very well, It recommended the right time because i had a project upon making new inventions

[@arjunbv1866]

Kindly continue doing hardware related videos. Love all your content.
