Install and configure a C compiler on your computer using code blocks, then write and run your first hello world program to start C programming.
Explore practical c programming with a simple hello program, learn the main function structure, directives, and printf usage, and understand int and float data types, memory in RAM, and debugging.
Learn how to accept integer input in C using scanf, storing values in variables and printing the results with printf in a simple a plus b example.
Learn how 8-bit and 16-bit data types behave in embedded C, including signed versus unsigned ranges, overflow effects, and how binary representations impact arithmetic.
Explore division and modulus in C by applying integer division, understanding floor division and remainders with the modulus operator, then use printf to show floating true division with floats.
Explore conditional execution and logical operators in embedded C programming, applying if statements and else if to compare numbers, greater than, less than, or equal to.
learn how to combine if conditions in embedded c to determine the largest among three numbers, using nested and combined tests and a single-line approach.
Explore if conditions in embedded C, learning to execute code when true, and to combine and, or, and not for largest or smallest number scenarios.
Learn how to use the switch case in C programming, with expression and break statements, to implement a calculator that handles +, -, *, / and a default invalid operator.
Learn how the for loop in C works, including initialization, condition, and increment, with examples printing hello world and how are you ten times, and generating a multiplication table.
Explore how to implement a factorial calculation in C using a for loop, including input scanning, initialization of fact to 1, and iterative multiplication from 1 to n.
Compare while and do-while loops with the for loop in C, focusing on initialization, condition, and increment. Learn how infinite loops occur and that do-while executes at least once.
Explore arrays in embedded C programming, learn to declare and initialize unsigned int arrays, access elements by zero-based indices, and perform simple operations like printing and summing elements.
Explore arrays in embedded C by reading five user numbers into an unsigned int array, then print them in sequence using a for loop and indices zero to four.
Learn to read six numbers into an array, then use a for loop and an if statement to identify and print the largest value in embedded C.
Develop a practical embedded c workflow by scanning ten numbers, categorizing them into odd and even arrays, and printing both results to reinforce array handling and conditional logic.
Master char arrays and ascii operations in embedded C, from decimal ascii codes to printing with %c and %d. Learn how unsigned char stores characters and forms strings.
Discover how to work with character arrays in embedded C: accept and print single characters, build and print strings with null terminators, and manually scan input on embedded platforms.
Explore string operations in C for embedded and desktop environments, including comparing strings with strcmp (zero when equal), copying with strcpy, concatenating with strcat, and measuring length with strlen.
Learn to convert integers and floats to text with sprintf for embedded displays, using formats like %f and %1.2 to print values.
Explore how pointers in C access memory locations via addresses, using ampersand and dereferencing to read and modify values.
Explore pointers in C by declaring pointers, using the address-of operator and dereferencing, then change and print values via pointers with printf.
Explore how pointers, dereferencing, and the address-of operator work in embedded C programming, print values and addresses, and clear common confusions about memory addresses and pointer notation.
Explore core ideas of functions in embedded c programming: declare, define, and use no-argument, no-return functions; handle arguments and return values; and understand function calls from main.
Learn how to declare and define a function that squares a number, accept arguments, and either return the result or print it, with examples of returning values and void functions.
Explore how to design C functions that accept multiple arguments and return a single value, with examples like factorial, and finding the largest and smallest of six numbers.
Explore reading function bodies in embedded C, implementing factorial and a largest-and-smallest program. Learn scanning input, using for loops, and updating results with comparisons.
Learn to return multiple values in embedded C by passing variable addresses to functions via pointers. Update results in place for operations like multiplication and division without returning values.
Compare global and local variables in C, see how globals interact with functions and arguments, and learn why minimizing globals is best for larger embedded programs.
Learn how to pass an array to a function and modify its elements by multiplying by two, using a simple C example with array indexing.
Explore how embedded c passes char arrays and strings to functions as pointers. Print characters using a loop until the null terminator, with embedded lcd or serial output.
Embedded C Programming – Crash Course
If you are learning embedded systems and feel stuck because of C programming basics, this course is designed for you.
This is a focused crash course on C programming tailored specifically for embedded systems learners. It is not a full-length academic C course. Instead, it concentrates only on the concepts that are most frequently used in microcontroller programming.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Understand core C programming fundamentals
Write structured C programs confidently
Use variables and data types effectively
Apply operators and conditional statements
Work with loops and arrays
Understand and use pointers
Write and call functions
Use preprocessor directives correctly
This course is practical and hands-on. The goal is to help you start coding quickly rather than spending hours on theory.
You will write your first C program within the first few lessons.
What You Will Learn
Introduction to C programming
Data types and variable usage in embedded systems
Operators and expressions
Conditional statements (if, if-else, switch-case)
