Hello, Im sure its been asked before but I cannot seem to find the answer im looking for in the search. How do you/ Is it possible to use multiple codes in arduino. I have seen some code where there is a few snippets on different sketches that are used together in arduino. I kinda just need a nudge in the right direction or a lil explanation of how to include a seperate sketch in the main script.
Lol im sure yall are shaking your head but this is my super basic explanation of my needs or idea.
I want one script to be a controller type script for other scripts. Similar to HTML & CSS where they feed off eachother for a complete script. Thank you very much. I dont really need a huge explanation Im just to cheap to buy a book at this point in time lol Thank you.

Yes, it is possible that multiple pieces of code in a single sketch.

It's more of an extremely broad question that can really only be answered with "it depends on what you're trying to do"

In all honesty I dont know what im tryin to do yet. I am still very basic with very little programming experience but I have a good understanding. I can read code pretty well, just not write it. Im kinda in the stage of brainstorming a project and I was just curious as to whats possible and how i should approach anything. I love the idea of having seperate sketches for 1 program as it gives it clarity in a way. I have book marked the article bout merging code and I greatly appreciate your help. Im glad to be a member of this forum.
When I was moving my first steps with Arduino (and I've not finished yet ) I used this approach: write a test sketch that exploited a new feature / library / "thing" I wanted to study and learn how to use in my programs, and nothing else. I tried to keep these "single function" sketches as simple as possible. As soon as I felt comfortable in using this new (for me) Arduino feature or library, I stopped using that sketch, to avoid "polluting" it with the new ideas that came to mind.
I don't really copy code snippets from those sketches inside bigger, "real" programs, but I often copy their structure, or use them to easily remember how to use a library that I haven't touched in a while.
