I have tried other projects with the components I have, trouble is there's so much unrelated stuff out there to what I'm actually trying to achieve.
Also time is not on my side too much, I'm hoping to get this function to work first then move onto other aspects of my project.
I'd really appreciate it if you can help with the coding / wiring of the components you mentioned I needed prior, if not, no worries, hopefully some one out there might be able to!
