  …do exist (at least if i understood your statement correctly), You just need to search with the keywords "AVR", "atmega328", or whichever version you intend to use instead of "Arduino". I attempted to make a simple PLC this summer and these resources were a great help : [book] Make: AVR Programming https://www.amazon.com/AVR-Programming-Learning-Software-Tec... and this complementary (or introductory)…

  …the students to embark on a proper study of C++. * Instead of using the Arduino "language+library" through the IDE, show them how to use the same GNU gcc toolchain to program the MCU directly in C. See Make: AVR programming by Elliot Williams for details. This teaches the students the idea of a "cross compiler toolchain" and all other related matters from first principles.

  …Systems (PTTES). They are chock full of invaluable C code (for 8051); in particular, beg, borrow or steal PTTES (free pdf available). Also checkout his other books and his company SafeTTy Systems. * Make: AVR programming by Elliot Williams teaches you to directly program the ATmega328P on a Arduino Uno. * Introduction to Embedded Systems: Using Microcontrollers and the MSP430 by Jimenez, Palomera et…

  …full of example code. This will allow you to carry your knowledge across MCU families. 2) Starting with Arduino and moving on to direct AVR programming is a great approach. Get Elliot Williams' book Make: AVR Programming for the latter. 3) Arduino programming is deceptively easy but extremely powerful if mastered properly. Do your sample programs first on Arduino and then redo it using straight AVR-C.…
