Programming languages for microcontrollers include:
C: The most widely used language for microcontrollers due to its efficiency, low-level hardware access, and portability. It is commonly used in embedded systems development.
Example: Writing firmware for an Arduino board or a STM32 microcontroller using the C language.
C++: An extension of C with object-oriented features, used in more complex microcontroller applications where modularity and code reuse are important.
Example: Developing a robotic control system on an ESP32 microcontroller using C++.
Assembly Language: A low-level language that provides direct control over the microcontroller's hardware. It is used for performance-critical tasks or when optimizing code for specific hardware.
Example: Writing a real-time interrupt service routine (ISR) for a PIC microcontroller in Assembly.
Python (via MicroPython or CircuitPython): A high-level language used in microcontrollers that support interpreted languages, often for prototyping or educational purposes.
Example: Programming a micro:bit or ESP8266 using MicroPython to create interactive projects.
Rust: A modern systems programming language gaining popularity in embedded development due to its memory safety and performance.
Example: Developing a safety-critical IoT device using Rust on an ARM Cortex-M microcontroller.
