Greetings from a newbie.
I grew up in the analog days so the shift to programing code is a challenging one.
I have blink running on a nano and have been able to set various blink rates by altering the timing on the supplied code. Yay, my first bit of coding, as basic as it is i did it :)
I am specifically seeking an explanation for the use of the symbols { }. These symbols are causing me grief and errors for that matter.
Looking at page 17 of exploring Arduino by Jeremy Blum he uses these symbols in a string of code with explanations of everything but these symbols. Why would these not get discussed ?
I dont understand there meaning or how to use them, they appear at the start and the end of a program.
Further to this can someone explain how to run blink program once, and then how to change it to repeat.
As you can see I have no experience with C, I would appreciate any literature on a beginners guide to C if or the like. Thanks in advance. Mark from NZ.
