Arduino to C/C++ for LED Cube

17 Apr 2019

Does anyone know how to convert arduino code to c/c++?

I have made a 4x4x4 LED cube, but I need to have the code in c/c++, not just arduino code.

If anyone knows of a converter or can link a site to easily learn c/c++ on an arduino, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You don't indicate why you can't use the Arduino language and IDE. Maybe this is a class assignment? Anyway, you'll need to set up an avr-gcc toolchain and will need to replicate all the stuff that the…

One other thing, a good book you might want to consider is AVR Programming by Elliot Williams. https://www.amazon.com/AVR-Programming-Learning-Software-Technology/dp/1449355781

Are you using the Arduino IDE? If so, Arduino is C and/or C++. Just when you use the Arduino IDE, you need a setup and loop function instead of a main. You could just add your code as interfaces with classes…

Elliot Williams also did a webcast with publisher O'Reilly which may be of interest. It's available to watch on YouTube:

Warwick Smith's 'C Programming with Arduino' is another good introduction for those wanting to move away from the Arduino IDE but whilst retaining the familiarity of the Uno/MEGA hardware.

This low cost ATMEGA328P dev board is also very handy to use with the above book as it gives an Arduino Uno footprint without the need for a separate ICSP programmer/debugger.

Try adding "avr" before iom328.h.
Such as :
#include <avr/iom328p.h>
Or just
"iom328p.h"

However, you might want to look at an example such as:
https://github.com/ElektorLabs/Arduino/blob/master/source2/avr/cores/arduino/avr/iom328p.h

But, as Ralph mentioned, you need to ensure you have your tool chain set correctly.

Also, when posting code, it is best to use the ">>" option at the top of the edit window and select the code format you wish to post your code in.

You don't indicate why you can't use the Arduino language and IDE. Maybe this is a class assignment? Anyway, you'll need to set up an avr-gcc toolchain and will need to replicate all the stuff that the Arduino code is doing for you.
