PaulS:
when i shrank the project down, i had to get rid of the pot
But you couldn't delete the comment?
i'm sorry. this code isn't mine
You stole it. You modified it. It IS now yours.
You are saying that since you didn't invent it, you don't have any requirement to understand it, to improve it, or to debug it. That attitude is not acceptable around here.
excuse me?
you're right. as i stated in my original post, i am new to this.
i posted a comment on the original authors blog and he pointed me here. i came here hoping for help with my code, not to be instigated by you. if you read the title of my post, it starts with the word "Understanding," so at this point you are just putting words in my mouth.
I'm not sure why you're accusing me of stealing; that's quite out of line. It clearly states that it is free for modification at the beginning of the sketch. Since I modified it for my purposes, then yes, I agree this version is now mine. If anything, it seems YOU are the one with the attitude, bud.
if there is anyone else willing to help me understand my code in a constructive way, i would greatly appreciate it.
