I only understand a little about the code, alot of tines you may only need to cut and paste someone else's code, you littery just plug the Arduino into your computer then and copy the code using the software.
I started off buying a cheap Arduino starter kit from eBay and following the tutorials, it was very informative.
I would be happy to help guide anyone through using a Arduino

I don't know how to program the Arduino boards. I'm also not good with the schematics of the circuits between the boards. Also no good in making sure the initial circuit on the breadboard would work (I don't even know how to use one!)
I'm sticking with the flash light approach. Seems well within my capabilities.
But we have to start somewhere, I'm working on a bb8 and bb9 unit with some slow but will be positive results.
It's just a matter of reading through what everyone else is doing, I've just got a cr10s 3d printer recently also, it will be great for this hobby and fun to learn along the way.
Just keep asking questions, there's no harm in doing that, that's how we all learn and help each other out.
That is also why I'm a part of this and other forums, great people offering help to us newbies along the way, then we can pass the same onto others once we've grasped the basics.
Keep up the great work centurian, and we'lllook forward to seeing your progress.
IN LOVE WITH THAT!
