Thank you for the kind words. There’s a place here at school that has someone with a lot of Arduino experience, I went there yesterday but he wasn’t working. I’ll try again today and keep my fingers crossed.
You would think with how long the Arduino has been out and with how popular it is, there would be some program that coded a sketch for you ala WYSIWYG web page makers. I’d be willing to bet there would be a huge surge of new Arduino users if there was.
