Its Not as Easy as It Looks

     After I finished my website I started to learn how to work on an arduino. By now I have working on arduinos for some time. I had learned a lot, from both success and failure. It is really not as easy as it looks. Just to make an LED go out by holding a button isn't that easy. 
     Even though it looks like it is fast to learn, you have to take your time and not rush. If you rush you will put yourself into an embarassing spot even towards yourself.
     Running into problems is a big part of learning. I had to run into many of them to learn. One of those problems was an LED never turning off. I had checked my code many times and it didn't help, because I rushed and never realized how important are resistant are.
Some of the code I used in the pushbutton code
     I had to try different ways to work with the arduino. Pushbuttons for example. I had to experiment if it would work and how it is suppose to work. It took 2 classes to realize exactly how it is meant to work and now I will have to learn soldering if I want it to be better of usage.
     Now I started realizing that I never had a determined goal about this project. I am still trying to get some ideas for the near future. I want to try to make a counter up to 1million, or something similar. While my plans for further future haven't changed and my wish of using my knowledge in the army stays the same.
