Include binary and text files in your Arduino project with incbin #Arduino
The incbin library allows coders to include any file into an Arduino project in a single line without converting it into c-array or maintaining a file system (such as SPIFFS).
Easily include wav sound, bmp image, html, js, txt, etc.
How it works
The library includes the content of the specified file in Flash ROM of the microcontroller. It means that,
the RAM is not wasted;
the file is included as a constant, its content cannot be changed;
you cannot work with the file content as with a normal array on AVR-based Arduino, as it’s stored in the flash memory (PROGMEM).
Tested with
AVR-based Arduino: Uno, Nano, Mini Pro, 2560, etc.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
