Mar 19, 2014 · The Arduino language is C++, but it is very different from most C++ varieties. The Arduino language has a lot of abstraction built in, especially in the hardware interfaces, which makes it very simple to use. If you have a background in Java, C and C++ should be very similar. The main differences between Arduino and C++ are in the memory storage.

Nov 12, 2023 · Even in Arduino's convenience environment. IMO it's more challenging to get beyond Arduino programming by going directly to the MCU's hardware level, dealing with Timers, other MCU components, Registers etc. directly. In C/C++ of course. There you learn that there's much more that can be done beyond the Arduino environment.

Mar 14, 2017 · There's no "Arduino language", it is C++ with some pre-written libraries to provide an abstraction layer on top of the hardware. You cannot use that library on other microcontrollers because it was designed for the specific MCU (AVR). Pretty much all microcontrollers on the market have compiler support for the C language, which is similar to C++.

Feb 14, 2015 · Learn C or C++ (preferred as it is newer) on what you have, then start using the Arduino. Eclipse or Microsoft Visual Studio Community are both free and support both languages. (Both also support Arduino development when the time comes, avoid the Arduino IDE it is terrible). There are enough samples for either to keep you busy for a long time.

The Arduino "language" is nothing more than a set of C++ functions and classes. It does not mandate any particular C++ standard. The standard is dictated purely by the compiler that the core you are using happens to support (and is configured to use through command line flags). Different cores use different compilers.

An Arduino is programmed in C/C++. There is a common misconception that Arduino has its own language. See this link C++ vs. The Arduino Language? for a full discussion on Arduino being C/C++ and the simplifications Arduino offers. Further more, you can see the Arduino core code here. From the Arduino website: Can I program the Arduino board in C?

Arduino claims to be a "language," not just an "application framework," and Arduino files have their own extension, .ino. The language is obviously C++, but not quite. My understanding is that Arduino has some sort of special preprocessor which converts .ino files into C++ files before compiling them.

Nov 21, 2021 · There is no language "Arduino" - the Arduino IDE runs a the GNU C++ compiler so "its language" is the language supported by the compiler. It is primarily C++ with a little bit of preprocessing done to your code to help learners get past some of the places they can trip over easily (adding #include statements when it thinks you need them, for ...

Mar 15, 2022 · There is no Arduino specific language. Its just C++. Arduino just gives you a framework inside C++ to work with, like a predefined program structure (loop and setup function) and useful functions and libraries. But sure, you can use C code for Arduino - up to the point where the two languages are diverging from one another.

Jun 15, 2022 · The assembly language/instruction set is dependent on the microcontroller family. At least some of the C++ compilers used in Arduino toolchains allow you to include inline assembly code. – 6v6gt
