Heyy so I've been tinkering around w/ arduino for abit (just copying source code while assembling hardware myself) and while i understand the source code i reuse (for personal use/fun/my own learning only btw), i dont actually know how to program an arduino on my own.

i tried searching for books but none actually say anything abt the lang except that its from c++, so i tried learning that but inputting it into arduino ide doesnt work :'))

if anyone has any resources for the programming lang of arduino, it would be great! thanks in advance!

Arduino uses a simplified version of C++, I would go through their docs https://docs.arduino.cc/learn - If you're someone who already knows how to code in general (took a compsci course) then maybe just the reference doc would be enough https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/#functions 

I'd maybe use chatGPT as well; you can tell it what you're trying to achieve and mention that you're using Arduino and it can help write bits of code for you and answer questions you have about it! I use chatGPT a lot while coding now; but I use it more like helping me create the bricks I use to build out the program vs just asking it to do something super general if that makes sense:)
