Arduino Sample Code Mashups // Becky Stern

First.




Sorry.

I from Germeny

thank you I needed this reminder because I got stuck on a project

man, this video is gem! its real life advice for making projects more complex than simple sample sketch, i learned these things the hard way, but now it makes my programming much easier and organized, which keeps me away from unnecessary stress and time lost... keep up the good work!

Good project 👏👏👏
Why there were no videos from months

Great video, i'm not ashamed to say this is how a lot of my projects start as there is no point reinventing the wheel if there is example code already out there.

Thanks for the info Becky! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

“Bitting off more than we can chew”...nah I wouldn’t know anything about that, lol (I know everything about that).

You go girl! You make it look so easy. I guess it's just a steep learning curve for us beginners. Just with anything else, if ya stick with it long enough it becomes easier. With this stuff I find it challenging to find what I need, (ie. How to write the code) because I don't know enough to know what I need. If that makes any sense to you.. best wishes.

About versioning: do you have experience using Git? It's extremely useful, especially in combination with GUI tools like GitKraken (to lower the barrier to entry) and a site like Github or Gitlab for managing your projects. And if you're working with others it's a godsend. Maybe something to make a video about?

Thank you for mentioning pseudo-code. Many people try to start projects at the Arduino IDE instead of making a pseudo-code flow chart that describes the whole process without being picky about syntax.

Wait, so blindly writing all the code and then going back and figuring out exactly which part isn't working isn't the best way to do it? Hmmm

Testing each bit before you move on is such good advice for any kind of project!!

i agree projects can seem intimidating until you break them down into bite sized pieces i will be refurbishing a 1961 gm pd 4106 bus soon and bringing it into this century as a hole it is daunting but i only need to work on 1 thing at a time so a very complicated job becomes many small jobs.

Excelent video, i found a function to my Instructables notebook ;)
Thx ;)

Wicked video Becky!

Good job Becky! 💖 regards from Chile

Thank you!

Thank you. I am working on some DIY projects and I being stuck planning the “coding” part of them. After your video now I have an idea of how to proceed. Thank you.

Maybe add some teensy controller or raspberry pi videos.

Great job Becky, I learned a lot from you. Kind regards from Holland

What do you find particularly challenging when creating projects?
