Personally, I am so grateful ( and often ambarrased when my early questions come up in a search ) with the help I have had with my forays into programming ( sketching )? ) Arduino projects.
It is the Old Guard ( we all know who you are - I will name you when the Oscardunios come up again ) that have sorted out so many of my brainfarts, sometimes with terse replies - that have put me straight.
Its not a Facebook chatgroup after all !
Thanks for hanging on in there guys .
