I try hardest to answer a post when...

a). First time poster needs to finish their school assignment that they have had for 3 weeks, but just started 24 hours before it is due.

b). OP is an IT king but knows nothing about Arduino and can't comprehend why it is so hard to do the simplest things that they can easily do on their home built Linux machine.

c). Wants to hook up an Arduino to a potentially life ending electrical circuit.

d). Other (please explain).

You forgot also when OP get insisting, posting up and up and up and curses because he did not get the answer he is entitled to immediately

I think you've already mentioned pretty much every hard situation....

Well you took some of the best ones!

I like the OP who writes I want to do A and the response of the posters is exactly how to do A and the OP says yea I know how to do that but I want to do it differently.

Or Hey I got a new car and I've got my ODBCII project connected. When I send random commands to my car's ECU, my new car does weird things. Anyone got any idea why my car does weird cht when I send it random ODBCII commands?

Oi! I got one I just jump right in there to help out on. I got a 5V solar 1 watt solar cell and I am having troubles getting it to run my MCU and servo.

I've been trying to get my HC05 working. I've spent weeks trying to figure it out. Here is the code I got so far:

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
Serial.println("lets see if I can get you to write my code");
}

Can anyone help me get my HC05 code working that I've spent weeks on?

Yea, I know there is an input text box located in the upper right hand corner of this forum window with the words "Search Forum" but could someone else type some words. I don't know which words to use but I want to blink my LED without using delay. Can someone help me out? <<< Yup, I'll get right on that.

Oi! My favorite.

I want to have my Uno control my ESP32.

I want to connect this widget to my Arduino that does this and that, when I do whatnot to this other gadget, but I can't find any code for that. I know how to google.
