I imagine that you all that are on these forums all the time know what you're talking about and are very knowledgeable on the subject. I also imagine that the basics of arduino and coding it cover far far more than is needed to have one control a few servos. It seemed logical to ask people such as yourself for a little streamlining since you all are knowledgeable to know what info I can skip and what I need to accomplish the task. This is not meant to be a coding 101 class, but rather a look what you can do with a little coding... more of an inspire them to want to go learn or an introduction with a fun ending. I know how to use arduinos to control servos, motors, controllers, etc. but I don't know why each line of code does what it does, which is the part I need to be able to explain. I did expect a warmer response to lets get kids interested in coding.
And as to your hypotheticals... people almost always come in wanting a streamlined experience, not here go read books that cover far more stuff than is relevant to what you're trying to accomplish. But I get where you're coming from on your points. I'll just take someone's code and have chatgpt break it down and explain it.
