Moving on to Something New

My first project in Computer Applications was to make a Hockey Marathon Website. It took me almost 2 months but now it is finally complete. I had finished the Hockey Marathon Website,

A typical arduino

and I am receiving a lot of good comments from all sorts of people about it. It seems like many people were surprised by the fact that I made it. Now that the website is complete, I am going to start working on something new.
I always wondered how machines worked, how they launched different processes and so, the  new thing that I had started working on are arduinos. I want to learn how to the hardware works and all of the possible things that will assist me in the future. In the army I don't want to actually fight but stay behind the front lines.
I use a special software to send codes to the arduino. With this software I am able to mess around with it and try out new things. I also use breadboards, where I connect all of the LEDs and wires.

LED lights chain

So far I face multiple problems, mostly with wiring. I had to rebuild my circuits multiple times. Sometimes because the were series circuits, and sometimes the were just not working. Another type of problems that I had faced were errors in the code. I could have asked the software to find it for me, but I never do because I want to find them myself and learn from them. I had two projects so far. Both were making chains of LED lights, but in two different ways. First one turned out as a series circuit and the second one as a success.

My goals, for now, are to master the arduino and be able to progress to something more complicated, something that will keep on challenging me and will open up a path in my future. I used a special software. With this software I am able to mess around with an arduino and try out new things.
