Are you being sarcastic?
No, I don't believe he is, just overestimating the reasoning powers of an Arduino.
Seriously, that's what it boils down to - clear, unequivocal instructions that can be followed by an entity that will do exactly what it is told to do, time and time again.
Unlike a ten year-old.
I see.
This still hasn't gotton me anywhere.
Like i've stated, i really don't have the time to learn a complete programming language to make just one arduino project.
I started reading C++ tutorials, but that hasn't helped me whatsoever, i already know what int's, loops and setups are.
And as you've already seen, i know an extremly small ammount already.
What i'm asking is for someone to help me/guide me to write this code, maybe even some code snippets, or writing some of the code and explaining it. i've only ever learnt things parrot fashion, to be honest, i did very poorly in language and math class at school. And nothings changed since.
If anyone is willing to spare some time, that would be excellant, i could even pay for some help.
Regards, Matt.

No. My point was that older people generally already know how to start a car. They will automatically fill in missing steps. For example. if you tell an adult to insert the key, rotate to the ignition position, then rotate a bit farther to the start position, wait 5 seconds, then rotate back, the adult will know that you mean wait no more than 5 seconds to rotate back. They will rotate back as soon as the engine starts.
They will know what it takes to set the choke, if the vehicle has an automatic choke.
The 10 year old will know none of these things, so you will need to provide very clear directions - the kind that can be implemented in code.

If you're doing this yourself then you really do need to learn that. It's a project that has scope to go wrong quite impressively if you don't know what you're doing.
If you really don't fancy taking on the code yourself them perhaps you should move this discussion to gigs and collaborations and make it clear you're asking for somebody to take it on for you.
