LESSON 32: Understanding Arduino Functions

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will keep this high quality content coming:

It is much easier to code if we break a complicated task into smaller chunks of code. These smaller chunks of code are called "Functions". In this lesson we introduce you to the concept of functions and show how it allows you to write neat, modular, easy to understand code.

Hi Paul, Just a quick help for everyone getting loop problems. Its the serial monitor option; make sure on the serial monitor window the "no line ending" option (usually along the bottom of the window) is selected. This will cure the double looping and the other errors etc. Thanks again, the best arduino/pi/hardware linux educator on the web. Wish I had you as my teacher forty years ago.

Thanks for the great explanation. I love it when a teacher breaks hard concepts into simple pieces..

Thank you for your reply Mr McWhortor! I will check out your channel. Love the lessons and even at 75, i'm learning much. Thank you!

Its been a while since I did anything... but you bring it back over and over again so grateful you do these videos

Dear Paul, I have seen some of your Arduino videos. You have, by far, make such a wonderfull and generous work, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You upgrade my understanding and light up my mind. Greetings from Colombia (SouthAmerica)

Me watches video at 12 at night and about to go to sleep.
Paul : pour yourself a strong cup of coffee
Me: I dont know about that

It started with a curiosity about this thing called Arduino. Your lessons, (particularly your teaching style) were perfectly matched to the way I learn. I watched all of your lessons before I even bought an arduino. When I bought one, I went through every lesson again. I had just finished the last lesson and was beginning to search for more arduino content when my subscription notified me of this new lesson. Bottom line - you made my day! Thank you for continuing this series. (P.S. I'm proud to say I think I would earn high grades in any class taught by you).

When I see you have a new video everything else has to wait until I watch it!

i love this man, i will protect him at all cost

By the way thanks to your videos I was able to desing in Fusion 360 for the company I work for, and now proudly figure on 2 world wide patents that the company sold.
Big thanks you!

I really don't like such less number of likes, Sir, you deserve more!

Great video Mr. Mcwhorter, easy to understand. I'm glad you're still making videos 🌞 I'll keep watching.

It's 2022 and you still rock. Thanks a lot Paul :)

[AwninGod]

Love the more advanced lessons. Paul, You Da Man

[toddduffett]

Nice work once again.
Love to see you tackle programming Arduino to use shift registers in different applications.

[waynewelshans]

Love these videos Paul! Keep them coming :)

[gitagoswami]

Thanks a lot this really made me program more elegantly and more consistent and easier to understand. You really helped me a lot. Thank You are the

[Bob-zgzf]

a New lesson from Paul. Wonderful! I'm so excited!

[athanb]

Simplest video on functions thank you. You make it a lot easier to learn.

Please keep 'em coming. I've tried other tutorials but they all seem to expect you to know some other coding language already. I like that you start at square one.
Also, I agree with Daniel Turner
. More Learn Fusion 360 or Die lessons.
