Learn the C behind microcontrollers, one understandable step at a time.
Embedded C Programming for Absolute Beginners guides you from your first C17 programs to the foundations of STM32 firmware development. Clear explanations, small examples, diagrams, and guided exercises help you connect programming concepts to the hardware they control.
Start with programs you can run on your computer, then follow board exercises for the STM32F407G-DISC1 development board. Along the way, build an understanding of how firmware uses memory, communicates with peripherals, responds to events, and handles unexpected conditions.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Write and understand C variables, data types, expressions, decisions, loops, and functions.
- Work with arrays, pointers, strings, structures, headers, and reusable modules.
- Follow the path from reset to main, including startup code, flash, SRAM, and linker scripts.
- Use registers, bit masks, and GPIO to connect software decisions to hardware behavior.
- Understand clocks, timers, PWM, interrupts, and the challenges of shared data.
- Explore UART communication and the fundamentals of I2C and SPI.
- Connect analog measurements with ADC conversion, DMA transfers, and careful buffer handling.
- Organize firmware with state machines, button debouncing, and cooperative scheduling.
- Find problems using compiler warnings, debugger observations, and repeatable tests.
Put these ideas into practice through an early LED exercise, a potentiometer-controlled LED laboratory using ADC, DMA, and PWM, and a desk-monitor project with button input, LED output, and UART commands. Build the desk monitor’s application logic on your computer before following its STM32 board workflow.
The downloadable companion material includes source code, reusable modules, build procedures, test scripts, and setup guidance, including Windows and WSL workflows. Exercises, expected results, and troubleshooting steps help you investigate what your program is doing and understand why.
You will also develop useful engineering habits: checking input before using it, defining clear module boundaries, keeping waits bounded, planning recovery, and making your results reproducible.
Written for students, electronics enthusiasts, self-taught programmers, and aspiring firmware engineers, this course requires no previous C programming experience. You can begin the language exercises on a computer; the board laboratories use the specified STM32 hardware and components.
Build the knowledge to read embedded C with understanding, make deliberate changes, and approach your next microcontroller project with a stronger foundation.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
