this is so fucking dumb

I finally got my chinese source code to upload to arduey boi

clone boards need the chink driver
http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_EXE.html

I'm still afraid to turn it on. when i plug it back into computer with the Motor Shield attached, it beeps really loud, because it has a PC speaker

hopefully that means the code works and its yelling cause it doesnt have the IR remote, or sufficient power

I'm going to test it outside later in case my batteries vent for some reason 😄

by the way the Arduino IDE runs in java 🤢

🔥

well shit

quite the nasty burn you got there

Ladies and gentlemen, I've just fried my first IC

that's a component on the Motor Drive board. my UNO still powers up and is (probably) fine

that one is buggerd

If I want to learn a programming language, what's the best way to do so?

Any good websites/tutorials anywhere?

Consider picking up something "light" to familiarize yourself with the concepts of a programming language

In case it wasn't clear, the "thing" being a programming language. There's some very specific heavy duty ones that are quite esoteric and then there's others that are simple, broad, and easy to read

I see alot of suggestions for Python

I picked things up through Racket/Scheme

And transitioned to C++/C#

Java is pretty good for beginners

The documentation is real nice and there’s a bunch of tutorials for it

@Legiondude do you miss (((racket)))?

Why?

It was basically like coding wth a Ti-83

@meratrix

>when you forget to make destructors but it doesn’t matter anyway since they don’t grade you on that

👌

@Deleted User Boii, I had to make a method that cleared the contents of a linked list for a test. I just set the head to Null, and they never even looked at it. 🤣👌

🤣

Thanks for the advice

This is wrong

I'm almost positive It's wrong because I did mine the opposite way
