Arduino Lessons

We have learned in earlier lessons that is it poor programming practice to use global variables. In today's lesson we learn how to pass variables and parameters to and from Arduino functions by using the pass by reference method.

In this lesson we learn how to return a local variable from a function in arduino. We begin to see how to work with local variables, and how we can get local variables to and from functions.

In Lesson 32 we learned how to break complicated tasks into simple chunks of code called Functions. Once we start using functions, we need to understand the difference between local variables and global variables. This videos shows you how to understand and use the right type of variables You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will keep this high quality content coming: https://www.patreon.com/PaulMcWhorter

It is much easier to code if we break a complicated task into smaller chunks of code. These smaller chunks of code are called "Functions". In this lesson we introduce you to the concept of functions and show how it allows you to write neat, modular, easy to understand code.

In this tutorial we learn how to declare, dimension, and use arrays and array variables with the Arduino. We do a simple averaging program to show the concept. You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will keep this high quality content coming: https://www.patreon.com/PaulMcWhorter

This lesson shows how to use software interrupts to read serial data on the Arduino. This is demonstrated using the adafruit ultimate gps.
