Encapsulation & Accessibility in C++

Encapsulation :  Encapsulation is another major component of OOP . the process of restricting access to data is called encapsulation. Encapsulation can be used to hide data members and members' functions.  note: Class members are actually Class variables(data) and functions  Access modifiers:  Access modifiers are keywords...

C++ in Arduino : Inheritance

What is Inheritance? Inheritance is the process of creating new classes called "derived classes" from existing classes called "base classes". the derived class inherits all the capabilities of the base class & can add refinements of its own. But why implement inheritance? The answer is inheritance permits code re-usability. Suppose that...

C++ in arduino : ISR() in a class

In the last post https://whileinthisloop.blogspot.com/2016/04/c-in-arduino-interrupted-adc-with-free.html I showed you how to run the ADC in free-running mode. In this post I am going to show you how to wrap up the ISR() in a Class I don't know if you have tried it or not but implementing ISR() in a class is a bit tricky ;) Handling interrupts is not only a job for C or assembly language...

C++ in arduino : interrupted ADC with free running mode

Does your embedded product need faster ADC processing and do you want to implement all that in C++ . In this post I am going to show you how to run ADC of Arduino UNO in interrupted mode. In the next post, we will wrap the code in C++.  But why do we need to run ADC in interrupted mode? Well, when you use analogRead() to read an ADC value CPU goes to the function & waits until a conversion...

C++ in Arduino : auto initialization of private variable at constructor

In C++, there may be cases where we need to initialize a private variable with a particular value. In this post, I want to show how initialization should be done in the right manner so that compiler can generate the exact binary instruction & save us from any undefined runtime issue. We will first go through the basics and then implement...

C++ in arduino : Classes and objects

Hello in this post I want to share how we can implement OOP concepts in ArduinoOOP  means object oriented programming In OOP Class is the blueprint of an object, in UML class is represented by a rectangle Object :  The object is an instance of a Class  Both data and functions that operate on data are bundled as a unit & it...
