The Arduino programming language is a superset of C++.
C++ is a superset of C.
For some strange reason, the people who developed Arduino decided to eliminate a lot of the constraints of C & C++ that make the code maintainable.
Luckily, you can program in C or C++ using proper techniques & compilers for Arduino will not choke on your code.
main.cpp
#include <Arduino.h> // Pretty much only here to giv us Serial Communications & delay()
#include "FooBar.h" // This header file lives in the src directory
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Howdee!");
Serial.println();
delay(5000); // What a silly way to rape a microcontroller...
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
Function1();
delay(1000); // UGH...
Function2();
delay(1000); // UGH...
}
(Let's not discuss the horror that is delay()
for now. Maybe in another article...)
FooBar.h
void Function1();
void Function2();
Function1.cpp
#include <Arduino.h>
void Function1()
{
Serial.println("Hi Grant!");
}
Function2.cpp
#include <Arduino.h>
void Function2()
{
Serial.println("I'm a microcontroller...");
}
platformio.ini
(Coz I have this preference in IDEs...)
