Overview of this book

C++ is a great choice for embedded development, most notably, because it does not add any bloat, extends maintainability, and offers many advantages over different programming languages. Hands-On Embedded Programming with C++17 will show you how C++ can be used to build robust and concurrent systems that leverage the available hardware resources. Starting with a primer on embedded programming and the latest features of C++17, the book takes you through various facets of good programming. You’ll learn how to use the concurrency, memory management, and functional programming features of C++ to build embedded systems. You will understand how to integrate your systems with external peripherals and efficient ways of working with drivers. This book will also guide you in testing and optimizing code for better performance and implementing useful design patterns. As an additional benefit, you will see how to work with Qt, the popular GUI library used for building embedded systems. By the end of the book, you will have gained the confidence to use C++ for embedded programming.

Example - Soil Humidity Monitor with Wi-Fi

Keeping indoor plants alive is no small feat. The example project in this chapter will show you how to create a Wi-Fi-enabled soil humidity monitor with actuator options for a pump or similar, like a valve and gravity-fed water tank. Using the built-in web server, we will be able to use its browser-based UI for monitoring the plant health and control system features, or integrate it into a larger system using its HTTP-based REST API.

The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:

  • Programming an ESP8266 microcontroller
  • Connecting sensors and actuators to an ESP8266
  • Implementing an HTTP server on this platform
  • Developing a web-based UI for monitoring and control
  • Integrating the project into a larger network
