Re: Trouble ahead
This is very true. A lot of things people do with Arduinos could be done with relays, motor driven cams and timers or even the old Basic Stamp boards, with the interpreted Basic language they had.

Re: Trouble ahead
Jack, I've never soiled my hands with an MSWin10 machine, though I doubt the OS matters much. Python is an interpreted language, so much slower than C. Parameters to functions can be passed as a

Re: First stone of my "Cocorico Ubitx
