Need guidance on programming technique

OldSalt1945:
I'm re-designing the temp sensor/heater section. It's such a god-awful mess that I just need to start over with the new toolkit I got from you guys.

Thanks again, John

The tools are so much better than in the punch card days, where I had my first taste of code.
Even a free IDE now is like a home power tool workshop compared to then chisel and stone tablets.

You can try Code::Blocks for Arduino if you want a more standard IDE. You can also customize that one but honestly that's yet more learning curve to justify.

Did you ever program in Forth?
