Some newer C features won't work in the IDE, which is a shame since __flash is so very handy.

In many cases, the library interface is a class. You have to instantiate it and call member functions on it in your code (e.g. see SoftwareSerial). It's certainly possible to just copy and adapt example code. However, I'd always recommend that at least a little knowledge of object orientation is important in understanding how to use it effectively.

But I don't know if I will need to use C++ in the simple projects. I'd be thankful if you could elaborate on this. Make a few examples where knowledge of C++ is crucial for using already written libraries. Thank you in advance. | |
