Adding a new example to arduino

Hi all, I spent a lot of time and effort recently in getting together a sketch to read the angle and azimuth of the sun with only the date and time as inputs. And your longitude and latitude. Only to find out that Arduino had this as an example already.
I don't want to make the same mistake again. I have a sketch that reads the temperature and varies the power to a heater element using phase control of the mains power. The program also allows you to set the desired temperature. It is known as a PID controller.
I have gotten a lot from Arduino and would like to give back a little by sharing my program. But there may already be an example in Arduino that does this? If not then how could I share my sketch with others on this forum?

Does this answer your question:

I have no idea if something like that exists.

You can post your sketch plus description in Exhibition / Gallery - Arduino Forum or in e.g. General Discussion - Arduino Forum.

If you can pour it in the form of a tutorial and incorporating comments like encountered issues during development) you can post in any category that covers the idea. You can then wait for comments from others about improvements, incorporate them and later you can ask a moderator to move it to the Introductory Tutorials - Arduino Forum (see How to submit a tutorial).

Note that the IDE sections are not for the purpose described above.


As your question is not IDE related, it has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.

LOL. I did this last summer. Had no idea that there was already an example :rofl:
