Need guidance on programming technique

AWOL:
"uint8_t" is a portable version of the Arduino "byte" data type.

So byte is Arduino specific. And uint8_t stands for Unsigned INTeger 8bits and (_t) is there just to make it even more difficult to type. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, the = vs == bites me often. COBOL compiler was smart enough to know what the situation was. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Now THAT should set off a firestorm of comments. Probably attract folks from the SparkFun forums. XD

I had a friend that was an Assembler (IBM mainframe) programmer that told me he would rather write down the page than across the page.

Thanks for the info.
