This book explores how to use Assembly Language within your Arduino sketches, directly from the Arduino IDE, without any external tools. By learning to write low-level code, you’ll gain the ability to reduce sketch size, increase execution speed, and achieve precise timing control, especially useful for tasks like bit-banging communication protocols.

It’s designed to be both educational and practical, helping developers and makers to reduce the size of their sketches, increase the speed of execution, and to get a much better understanding of how the Arduino hardware works. With a focus on clarity and hands-on examples, it’s ideal for developers and makers who want to push their Arduino projects further and gain deeper insight into microcontroller programming.

What You'll Learn

•    How to code in Assembly for speed, code size and exact timings.
•    How to write libraries for use with Assembly (and C++ for some of the libraries).
•    How to interact with all the hardware features of the ATmega328P, from Assembly Language.
•    What to avoid and other pitfalls.

Who Is This Book For

Everyone with an interest in the Arduino boards based on the ATmega328P. All levels but a passing understanding of some programming languages would be helpful.

Über Autor(innen)

Norman Dunbar is a retired Oracle database administrator. Norman has had a long-running relationship with electronics since childhood and computers since the late 1970s, and the Arduino was a perfect marriage of the two interests.

With a love of learning new things, examining and explaining the Arduino Language and the hardware became a bit of a hobby, and as his piles of notes expanded, Apress decided to publish his work as Arduino Software Internals back in April 2020 with a second edition in 2024.

Once more his notes became a book and Arduino Interrupts was published by Apress/Springer in December 2023. Because he never remembers exactly how much work, and how hard it is to write a technical book, Norman has now completed writing the third book in the Arduino Trilogy, and you are reading it now! Norman’s motto continues to be don’t think, find out.
