Understanding Object-Oriented Programming and Creating Arduino Libraries

However, it is also an advanced feature that can be a little confusing at first. This chapter will introduce you to the concept behind OOP, guide you through writing your first object-oriented program, and show you how to create an Arduino library from scratch, which you can then use in your own projects or even share with the wider Arduino community.
