Hello there people anybody willing to help me with my project?
It involves some buttons buzzer and a stepper motor.
Discord: Alexnahui
Sincerely Alex.
A bit more detail would help. What exactly do you want to do?
Alexisnhi, welcome to the forum.
We would need to know exactly what you need help with. To help you get the best out of the forum, the mods here usually post the following link for newcomers:
It explains what information would be useful and indeed essential for us in order to be able to provide further help. Please review it and then post some more information about your project.
This is not discord.
That sounds like it could be an interesting project that might be a lot of fun! However, please keep in mind that we are not a free design or code-writing service. We’re more than happy to help with your design or code, but we need you to make an initial attempt. Please design and write your code, then post it along with an explanation of what’s not working properly.
- Show Your Work First: Before asking for assistance, make an attempt to design or write the code yourself. Share your work along with details about what isn’t working. Only you know what you want!
- Provide Clear Documentation: Since we can’t see your project, share an annotated schematic (best) or a clear drawing of your setup. Pictures are welcome, but avoid using Fritzing diagrams as they are wiring diagrams, not schematics, and are not ideal for troubleshooting.
- Include Technical Details: If there is specific hardware involved, include links to technical information. There are often many versions of similar components, so precise details are essential. What version of buttons buzzer and a stepper motor are we looking at.
- Reference Resources: For additional help, check out useful links and tutorials: Useful Links on Arduino Forum. Post links to your buttons buzzer and a stepper motor technical information.
- Obtain a copy: of the Arduino Cookbook and complete several of the projects. Many of them will help you achieve parts of your goals.

I came up with this, did sum myself, AI helped me aswell, i know it is messy. Any ideas how to improve this and get rid of junk code?

Not until you tell us what the code is supposed to be doing!
not exactly arduino controller but close enough

HI,
Have you actually built your project or is this all speculation at the moment?
What is your project?
What is your code supposed to do?
Thanks.. Tom..
