I need help in converting Arduino code to C language code

#include

 


Servo myservo; //creates a servo object
//a maximum of eight servo objects can be created

 

int pos = 0; //variable to store servo position

 

 

 

int calibrationTime = 30;

 

//the time when the sensor outputs a low impulse
long unsigned int lowIn;

 

//the amount of milliseconds the sensor has to be low
//before we assume all motion has stopped
long unsigned int pause = 5000;

 

boolean lockLow = true;
boolean takeLowTime;

 

int pirPin = 12; //digital pin connected to the PIR's output
int pirPos = 13; //connects to the PIR's 5V pin

 

void setup(){
myservo.attach(4); //attaches servo to pin 4
Serial.begin(9600); //begins serial communication
pinMode(pirPin, INPUT);
pinMode(pirPos, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(pirPos, HIGH);

 

//give the sensor time to calibrate
Serial.println("calibrating sensor ");
for(int i = 0; i < calibrationTime; i++){
Serial.print(calibrationTime - i);
Serial.print("-");
delay(1000);
}
Serial.println();
Serial.println("done");

 


while (digitalRead(pirPin) == HIGH) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.print("SENSOR ACTIVE");
}

 

void loop(){

 

if(digitalRead(pirPin) == HIGH){ //if the PIR output is HIGH, turn servo

 

/*turns servo from 0 to 180 degrees and back
it does this by increasing the variable "pos" by 1 every 5 milliseconds until it hits 180
and setting the servo's position in degrees to "pos" every 5 milliseconds
it then does it in reverse to have it go back
**/

 

for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1) //goes from 0 to 180 degrees
{ //in steps of one degree
myservo.write(pos); //tells servo to go to position in variable "pos"
delay(5); //waits for the servo to reach the position
}
for(pos = 180; pos>=1; pos-=1) //goes from 180 to 0 degrees
{
myservo.write(pos); //to make the servo go faster, decrease the time in delays for
delay(5); //to make it go slower, increase the number.
}

 

if(lockLow){

 

lockLow = false;
Serial.println("---");
Serial.print("motion detected at ");
Serial.print(millis()/1000);
Serial.println(" sec");
delay(50);
}
takeLowTime = true;
}

 

if(digitalRead(pirPin) == LOW){

 

if(takeLowTime){
lowIn = millis(); //save the time of the transition from HIGH to LOW
takeLowTime = false; //make sure this is only done at the start of a LOW phase
}

 

//if the sensor is low for more than the given pause,
//we can assume the motion has stopped

 

if(!lockLow && millis() - lowIn > pause){

 

lockLow = true;
Serial.print("motion ended at "); //output
Serial.print((millis() - pause)/1000);
Serial.println(" sec");
delay(50);
}
}

    For which particular aspects of C++? C++ is really c with objects and some changes to syntax and structure to support objects (e.g. polymorphism). C++ can make the compiled object code bloated, fat and…

    Well, in that case the flavor of C used for the Arduino already meets your needs. C++ is a super set of the C language, and the Arduino compiler already supports this. A major difference is when using…

    Hi shajeeh, Arduino code is C language code. It just has a simplified API to allow you to access the IO pins available on the AVR chip. What platform are you wanting to convert this to? We would need that…

    I said pseudo C because C/C++ I don't classify C/C++ as C.

    The Arduino programming IDE is based on Processing.

    Have a look at it at processing.org  - It's really C/C++ exposed to make visual art projects easy.

    Is there any method on converting Arduino code into C language, which is used for Atmel studio IDE ?

     

    An update on this: the current version (that's 7) of Atmel Studio can directly import an Arduino "sketch" and create an Atmel Studio Project.

     

    You do need to have the Arduino IDE installed.

    Also note that Arduino code is C++

    Do you mean Arduino? Or something else?

    If by CCS you mean TI's Code Composer Studio then you can just open up an Energia sketch and run it on some of their ARM processors. I'm not up on the details because I avoid Arduino. You will find 43oh.com is a good resource for Energia stuff.

    Uh, not completely true.   Actually C++ code could make the end binary smaller and increase the performance of the code if one knows what they are doing.

    Could you clarify more of what you are looking to do.  Are you looking to completely get away from all of the Arduino code or are you looking to code using the Arduino using C++?   If you are looking to not use any of the Arduino libraries then you will either have to create them yourself or use other libs.

     

    What IDE are you looking to use or are you looking to just use command line dev?

     

    Are you familiar with AVR Studio?

    If that's your belief, please enlighten us with an example of a compiled C++ program being smaller and faster than an C program.

    There are plenty of examples on the web that have dispelled most of the myths of C++ in Embedded systems.

     

    The idea that C++ creates bloated code is an old school mentality that is just not valid any more.   The modern C++ compilers and tools are much more efficient then they were in the past.  C on the other hand offers the developer a double barrel shotgun with the choke wide opened where one could blow off both feet if not careful.
