Biggest Mistake By Arduino Novices
My Train of Thought Is Arriving At Gate 1!
It’s obvious there are many posters on Arduino forums that have copied code from someone’s project, but lacks the knowledge to get it to work, or actually understand what’s in it! Then they will see if anyone has a solution for them to get it to run. The only problem is, the code is fine, the user most likely misunderstood something in the setup of the project!
They also leave out a few very important details about their predicament when posting their query. They are not the author, and they have never done anything with Arduino previously.
There is nothing wrong with copying sketches for ones self, in fact, it's encouraged! The issue is there are many just starting out in Arduino that do not take the time to learn anything about how to set it up, do simple code changes, or the capabilities of the devices before they start their very first complicated project!
I see this more and more on a lot of Arduino forums !
There is an easy solution to all of this:
1. Learn to navigate Arduino through tutorials and start with beginners (starter) kits to familiarize yourself with the technology. Make sure you know how to make changes in code before attempting a large project for yourself.
2. Creators who post these projects on their YouTube channel need to start responding to comments on the video from your viewers. Most creators , like myself, respond to questions in both the video and email. But there are some that do not, and these are usually the sketches you find on the forums with the largest amount of problems. 😠
