inspire me init

guys i have a thing i need inspiring with

i love potato cannons - i have several

all are epic - my most powerful can fire 'slugs' 250 yards - its too powerful to shoulder (it put me on the floor, made my face numb and made me deaf for 2 days on its trial run ;D)

but i feel i want to produce a potato cannon on epic proportions

i want it to either be superb thought like a potato cannon gatling gun

or i want to go all techy with digital readouts of stuff related to it (but what???)

inspire me - it can be totally OTT or nerdy or w/e

i just want it to be fun ;D

You're just trying to bump your post count, aren't you?

no :-?

i couldn't give 2 hoots about post count - reset it to zero if you like

::slight_smile:

its a genuine topic - i am just getting my head around arduino and really starting to enjoy it

i just want ideas

And still you are turning the back to your other recent topic about it... ;D

i don't understand?

i don't understand?

This is the problem. You seem to be a write-only member of the community, which makes answering your questions pointless.

oh right

well i appolgise for not being as good at this as everyone else

ffs - grow up

i am crap at electronics - how the hell can i answer questions ect... if i can i will, but i feel i can't

i am uber noob level

w/e

ill find a different forum

fucking elitist pricks

ffs - grow up

heh, I was trying to help you with the communication between the arduino and a computer, and gets ignored. Then get this back after mentioning it. Not really sure that I (or the others) are those who need to grow up...

You could at least reply to the answers you already got instead of just continuing to ask.

But fear not - s/he is a "professional"

(what is "ect" - is it short for "ectoplasm"?)

well i appolgise for not being as good at this as everyone else

You apologise for not being a complete arse?

have i got this wrong

a forum where you can't just ask questions

well fukk me sideways ::slight_smile:

well done arduino community - how welcoming of the noob you are... NOT!

AWOL

you are a first class twat

a forum where you can't just ask questions

You can, but if you ask just because you can, without trying to use it, then you must expect the ones spending time on helping you get a bit upset.

you are a first class thingy

From anyone else but you, I'd take that as a compliment.

Can we have a moderator over here please?
Pillock to flush out

how welcoming of the noob you are... NOT!

A noob does not have 140 posts.
A knob, maybe.

your 5 months "older" than I am, I had barley used a microcontroller previous to arduino, I had my pic32 but for barley a month and did not understand 99% of it while running basic on it, and aside from some high school basics (over a decade ago) did not understand electronics very well, just enough to not burn crap down

what I did was sit down and read, a lot, when I thought I understood a concept I would sit down and fiddle with it, a lot, comming up on a year later, still reading, still fiddling I now know a lot

its not that hard, its really only 2 things, focus and effort if you want to be "awesome" at this stuff, if not go by some sparkfun Lego bricks, download some libraries and at least accomplish something

ill find a different forum

super, find a potato cannon forum, they exist and they will inspire you for your subject, this isnt the dumping ground for every question conceived, little Internet hint, you can be a member of more than just 1 fourm

crappity smacking elitist pricks

why cause we dont like wasting time on someone who shows to have zero interest in the entire topic of the fourm?

this forum sucks balls tbh

so boring

noobs

this forum sucks balls tbh

then dont come here, you have no real reason to be here anyway

so boring

sorry this forum is for education in a pretty focused subject, and not here to entertain you, go play on nick jr, it might suit you better

noobs

of what?

And really? is that suppose to be insulting? We are all noob's at anything at some time, its not an insult, its just a fact of life
