I decided I needed a hobby. I spend most of my time on work or personal projects...I thought I might just get something I can tinker with without feeling like I have to produce something that is intended for release. Although knowing myself I'll probably start thinking about how I can build something to release! Haha!

    Just some suggestions to make it more interesting/professional.
    Instead of the arduino IDE look for platform.io which is based on the Atom Editor and there are better arduino compatible boards imo f.e. Arduino minis,micros or the attiny mcu or the ESP8266 for wifi.

    @davidmaerz I like to upload and program arduino sketches via sublime text, platform.io didn't work for me :/ also, @leviwhalen you can program it with JS if you like that language ;) look up for Johnny-five framework, it's awesome! Good luck!

    @wbunton definitely will do!!! My first goal project is to build a controller that can output midi. I started thinking about interesting ways to represent building note values and patterns, and cycling between patterns with if statements and potentiometers. Definitely a fun challenge!

    @vzqzac that's amazing! Once I get the hang of things in the IDE I'll definitely switch over to the JS framework you mention. Seems powerful.
