I’m from a BASIC background as well, it didnt take long to pick up Arduino C! The basic knowledge of how to do things carries over fairly easily.
My problem is forgetting ; at the end of statements, writing in C is fairly easy, the harder part (and is the same for most modern languages) is finding your way around the standard libraries!
Of course I will get into it immediately, i have always wanted to have my own design LCD dislplay and being able to use an MCU to make my geek projects sexy and sophisticated.
I will go thru the tutorials step by step, and then = C
Is there any books recommended that are suitable for Arduino coding ?
oops, I mean sketching..
I'm reading the Language Reference (extended) page at the moment but would like more input (pun) :) how to make it all work together..
The arduino will be one of many combined designs for a watercooled PC
Water temps, rad temps, pump flow, pressure, rpm of 8 cooliing fans, cpu/mobo temps, overheat/alarm systems,auto fill control system, power supply monitoring, automatic fan control based on temps, humidity.
there will be many things to learn and as I saw many projects here on Arduino that I can copy and modify to save time sketching.
I want to learn at least the core of the system so I can heavily customize the features I want without relying on the hope that someone has already done something similar.
Well, I get the impression that you guys reckon its no big deal ? No ?
