I made an Arduino library! #notATutorial

Seriously, it was a lot of fun creating my own library and really makes me appreciate the phenomenal efforts other go to. My library had a fairly achievable aim, to trigger a function at a set interval or after a set time #notATutorial

It turns out that 'Likes' and 'Shares' actually help the channel so, if you want to, please click the thumbs up or share the video.

As an especially crap programmer myself, it is refreshing to hear from someone more experienced saying things like "I don't know what that function does" about their own code.

I may have to find a use for this library, simply for the function names.

I am just getting started with Arduino and i tell ya I am horrible at the programming side. It's a powerful tool for sure and it's nice to have guys that are willing to share there experience. Thanks 👍

David, guys like you and Brian amaze me with your programming skills. Keep up the great videos. I learn a lot from them.

Creating a basic library is awesome, well done David!!

Neat little library! Like a really tiny version of Ticker.

"Full featured" libraries are all well and good but writing your own minimalist ones like this is really useful when program space is at a premium. Some of the big libraries take up nearly all of an ATTiny45.

Hi David, nice video and congrats on your first Arduino lib. It's quite funny to see how you name things and come up with terminology. In my TM16xx library I've also used object references. They were handy for making one display class be usable for multiple slightly different driver classes for the various TM16xx chips. You may also want to add a keywords file and a library properties file...

Oh Davit - our hearts run synchronous. I wrote a library for the first time, too - finished it a week ago :)

I got lucky in successfully writing a library on my second attempt. They seem to be redundant. Why not just copy/paste and make efficient code?

good on ya for experimenting and learning :D

Dirk Herrendoerfer sent me here. Love his channel, Looking forward to good stuff here. Nice video

@David Watts If I am not mistaken, calling (from loop()) has the same result as simply just calling _blinkLED2.restart()_ (still from loop()).. I think you do not understand it because it does not make any sense at all and/or you did not think of a purpose before having it ;). I might have missed something, but I have really no idea what it could be good for.

Given that it's a library, shouldn't that be void Ook(); ?
