What stops your Arduino project?

cstanton

Say you want to create a solution to a problem you have, like automating the door on a chicken coop with the time of day...

What tends to stop you from developing it? Do you find that you encounter a problem part way through the project? Is it some knowledge you're lacking or is it the software?

Would you benefit from help with circuit design? Or is it something else?

We're looking at expanding our introduction videos and guidance on using Arduino products, and I'm interested in what you need help with, so reply and let us know, regardless of knowledge level.

  • I run into problems when sensors or peripherals that I want to use don't have libraries available for the Arduino IDE and it is necessary to port a library or develop one from scratch.  I also have problems when there is no board library available for a specific board implementation and it is necessary to hack one from another board using the same MCU.

    The inverse problem also exists, where there are too many libraries available for the same board or peripheral (with different features).  If multiple of these libraries are installed and definitions are reused it becomes a real pain as the compiler gets confused.  I encountered this a lot with the many custom library versions for the RP2040.
