Incorrect tutorial on docs.arduino.cc

Shouldn't there be some resistors here?

Also, the buttons; aren't we promoting ground to buttons and internal pullups?

There should be a MAX7219 there! :wink:

Most certainly, but I think the point of the tutorial was to also teach the use of map and using arrays with pinmode and digitalwrite.

What buttons?

My mistake, old eyes. I see now that those are potentiometers.

Thanks, feel free to delete this question as extraneous, if appropriate.

No no, that was not my intention. I only wanted to cross-reference to additional information about the documentation defect in case it might be of value to the interested parties.

const int row[8] = {
  2, 7, 19, 5, 13, 18, 12, 16
};

// 2-dimensional array of column pin numbers:
const int col[8] = {
  6, 11, 10, 3, 17, 4, 8, 9
};

// 2-dimensional array of pixels:
int pixels[8][8];

We should also be promoting appropriate datatypes :roll_eyes:

Almost 3 years old. Seems like Arduino would benefit from hiring someone to go through their tutorials and keep them from destroying equipment.

They have hired us. But we don't know :smiley:

The hours are OK, but the pay and benefits suck.

Didn't you get the 200% pay rise?

I may have but how does one tell since 0 x 2 = 0?

Raise it to 0 first

All those :heart: s are worth their weight in gold though.
