Hey there. I’m a raw beginner at programming in general, and I’ve been having some trouble with my first project.
As my sketch has grown, I started getting this error:
Sketch uses 19,252 bytes (59%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 1,698 bytes (82%) of dynamic memory, leaving 350 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
Low memory available, stability problems may occur.
And now my sketch malfunctions in weird ways. It might be worth noting that I’m using a knock-off Sunfounder Arduino UNO. I’ve found that when I remove one of the libraries from the sketch (e.g. all of the servo stuff), the malfunctions with the rest of the sketch go away.
I assume that there are probably some glaring inefficiencies in my code, and I’d really appreciate any help in identifying and fixing them!
