hi, i am very new in this field about interfacing a custom GUI with the existing arduino IDE.
Is there a way to have a custom interface say to change the speed of the LED blinking in the blink sketch via a separate GUI? basically being able to change a variable via an external GUI.Where should i start?
Cheers!

Yes, there is.
basically being able to change a variable via an external GUI.
You can change values. You can store values in variables.
Where should i start?
7th and Main, downtown Chicago, Michigan.
The GUI is a visualization created by an application running on a PC. If that application is able to communicate with a serial port, and the one that it communicates with is the one with the Arduino connected to it, the application can send data to the serial port.
With luck (read skill), the Arduino will recognize the data and know what to do with it.

The basis of any GUI is buttons etc on say a TFT screen but I'm still to find workable code examples for a UNO & you may need more horsepower from a DUE which can be seen at this part of this forum Arduino Due - Arduino Forum
