Dev-C Bloodshed Dev-C is a full-featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the C/C programming language. It uses Mingw port of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) as it's compiler. Dev-C can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC based compiler. Free Software (GPL) For Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP.
Gluco is an open hardware and software project. With it, you can create your own fully-featured glucometer.
The microcontroller logic is hosted on Arduino Uno and an e-Health shield right now. The code here should be all you need to get the Arduino and e-Health shield working together.
Required hardware:
- Arduino Uno (others will probably work, but I used the Uno)
Build
Arduino
I built this without using the Arduino IDE on Linux Mint, so the build instructions reflect that. This only works on the Arduino Uno (as far as I know).
You need the Arduino toolchain and pySerial:
Connect your Arduino to a USB port and get ownership of the port:
The Arduino code is in the
gluco
directory:To build and upload the code to your Arduino, all you need to do is:
Or in emacs with Arduino support, compile and upload in one step with
M-x compile RET make -k upload
.Driver
The driver is a Rust program that reads the data from the Arduino, interprets it, and relays it to the desired web services. Follow the Rust documentation to install
cargo
and then do the normal cargo build
to create an executable.Roadmap
v0.1
Version 0.1 is a workable glucometer. It will accurately report blood sugar levels, and it will be easy to set up. It might not look like the prettiest thing, but it will get the job done.
It will be fully integrated with Tidepool and Nightscout.
This will be hosted on the Arduino an e-Health shield. It will be pre-package-able, meaning I could make one and pack it up into a small box, give it to someone else, tell them to download the software, and it would just work.
v0.5
Version 0.5 will take much longer to release - I will do as much custom hardware design as I need to get off of the e-Health shield and an off-the-shelf glucometer. Instead, perhaps I’ll make a sheild that has the glucometer built-in. This would also allow me to create a casing for the entire thing, and make it very sleek.
v1.0
Between v0.5 and v1.0, a ton of work will go into creating a solid platform. It will be re-implemented in Rust with Zinc, thus giving the entire hardware stack compiler-enabled safety:
In addition to software safety, zinc provides hardware safety with Platform Tree specification; you define the hardware configuration right in the code in simple key-value DSL and compiler verifies that all hardware is configured properly
How cool is that?! I plan for version 1.0 to be done by summer of 2016.
v1.5
Version 1.0 will be big, but it will also enable a really powerful platform. Within 6 months after 1.0 is released, I could have a continuous glucometer prototyped. That’s what I’m really excited about: an open source continuous glucose meter.

C++ is a middle-level programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs. C++ runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX. This C++ tutorial adopts a simple and practical approach to describe the concepts of C++ for beginners to advanded software engineers.

Why to Learn C++
C++ is a MUST for students and working professionals to become a great Software Engineer. I will list down some of the key advantages of learning C++:
Dev C++ Download Windows 10
- C++ is very close to hardware, so you get a chance to work at a low level which gives you lot of control in terms of memory management, better performance and finally a robust software development.
- C++ programming gives you a clear understanding about Object Oriented Programming. You will understand low level implementation of polymorphism when you will implement virtual tables and virtual table pointers, or dynamic type identification.
- C++ is one of the every green programming languages and loved by millions of software developers. If you are a great C++ programmer then you will never sit without work and more importantly you will get highly paid for your work.
- C++ is the most widely used programming languages in application and system programming. So you can choose your area of interest of software development.
- C++ really teaches you the difference between compiler, linker and loader, different data types, storage classes, variable types their scopes etc.
There are 1000s of good reasons to learn C++ Programming. But one thing for sure, to learn any programming language, not only C++, you just need to code, and code and finally code until you become expert.
Hello World using C++
Just to give you a little excitement about C++ programming, I'm going to give you a small conventional C++ Hello World program, You can try it using Demo link
C++ is a super set of C programming with additional implementation of object-oriented concepts.
There are many C++ compilers available which you can use to compile and run above mentioned program:
- Apple C++. Xcode
- Bloodshed Dev-C++
- Clang C++
- Cygwin (GNU C++)
- Mentor Graphics
- MINGW - 'Minimalist GNU for Windows'
- GNU CC source
- IBM C++
- Intel C++
- Microsoft Visual C++
- Oracle C++
- HP C++
It is really impossible to give a complete list of all the available compilers. The C++ world is just too large and too much new is happening.
Applications of C++ Programming
As mentioned before, C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. It has it's presence in almost every area of software development. I'm going to list few of them here:
- Application Software Development - C++ programming has been used in developing almost all the major Operating Systems like Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Apart from the operating systems, the core part of many browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Chrome have been written using C++. C++ also has been used in developing the most popular database system called MySQL.
- Programming Languages Development - C++ has been used extensively in developing new programming languages like C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, UNIX’s C Shell, PHP and Python, and Verilog etc.
- Computation Programming - C++ is the best friends of scientists because of fast speed and computational efficiencies.
- Games Development - C++ is extremely fast which allows programmers to do procedural programming for CPU intensive functions and provides greater control over hardware, because of which it has been widely used in development of gaming engines.
- Embedded System - C++ is being heavily used in developing Medical and Engineering Applications like softwares for MRI machines, high-end CAD/CAM systems etc.
This list goes on, there are various areas where software developers are happily using C++ to provide great softwares. I highly recommend you to learn C++ and contribute great softwares to the community.
