There are several unit test frameworks for C/C++ but we will take a look at Google Test. First you will need to download and build it. It’s available here. Follow the instructions how to build[…]
JUnit, unit test for Java
In one of the previous posts about Ant we mentioned that Ant supports JUnit unit test. Now let’s talk about JUnit itself. Basic tutorial is available at the source, so we will go a little[…]
PIC microcontroller, part II
Now let’s use real microprocessor. For this project we will need microprocessor, programmer and scheme with LED which we used in Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Also prerequisite is that you completed project in part[…]
Raspberry Pi + C = Blinking LED
This time we are going to write C application for Raspberry Pi to do a blinking LED. We would reuse the same scheme as we use in Python example. For C example we will use[…]
Raspberry PI + Python = Blinking LED
While we wait for our components to arrive for our PIC project, let’s play with Raspberry PI. Raspberry PI is not a microcontroller it’s fully functional computer. Prerequisite to this topic is connected and running[…]
PIC microcontroller, part I
And now let’s go to the lowest level – microcontrollers. That’s what drives every electronic device around you. I found this one in my drawer: PIC16F690. You can buy ‘raw’ device or buy experimentation board,[…]
Arduino
Let’s switch gear and switch to micro controllers. The best way to start is with Arduino. You can buy just the board, or start-up kit like this one. Next step is download and install studio[…]
Python
Python is very similar to Perl so to save myself some time I would do copy/paste/replace… 🙂 Python is scripting language; that means you don’t compile it to executable, like C/C++, nor compile it to[…]
Perl
Perl is scripting language; that means you don’t compile it to executable, like C/C++, nor compile it to binary file which executed by special environment, like Java of .Net Core. Instead you write a script[…]
Ant
If, after reading Java post, someone is curious if it’s possible to use makefile to compile Java applications – the answer would be yes. But there are better ways to do it. One of them[…]
