My Arduino Journey 01 - Journey Start

My Arduino Journey 01

Today, I got my hands on an Arduino Uno, marking the beginning of what I hope will be a rewarding journey into hardware projects.
I encountered some minor issues during my first setup, and I’m documenting them here so that others can avoid making the same simple mistakes.

I’m using Windows 11.

After plugging in the Uno to my computer, it should have appeared as a device with a question mark in the Device Manager. However, there was no response for quite some time.
It wasn’t until I gave it a firm push that I realized the issue: the port on the Uno side is somewhat tight, requiring a bit more force than expected; otherwise, it only powers up without transferring data…

Apart from this, everything else follows the standard tutorial procedures. By the way, if the latest IDE doesn’t install the drivers properly, you can download version 1.0.x of the IDE and manually install the drivers from the drivers folder.

This mistake was so trivial that I sincerely hope no one else encounters it. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to sharing all the valuable experiences along my Arduino journey.

Key Takeaways

  • Ensure you plug the Uno firmly into your computer’s USB port to establish a proper connection.
  • If you face driver installation issues with the latest Arduino IDE, try using an older version (1.0.x) and manually install the drivers.

Thank you for your attention, and I hope my experiences can be helpful to those starting out with Arduino.

How to turn off Sass warning prompts in Nuxt.js projects

Background of the Issue When developing projects with Nuxt.js, it’s common to encounter a large number of Sass-related warning messages in the console. These warnings mainly include: Warnings about the order of mixin declarations. Warnings about the use of Legacy JS API. Although these warnings do not affect the operation of the program, they can degrade the development experience by cluttering the console. Today, we will explore how to elegantly address this issue. Solutions 1. Disable Warnings via Configuration In the nuxt.config.js file, we can modify the Sass configuration to suppress these warning messages: export default { build: { loaders: { scss: { sassOptions: { quietDeps: true , // Suppress warnings from dependencies logger: { warn: function ( message ) { return null ; // Silence warning messages }, debug: function ( message ) { return null ; // Silence ...

Guide to Modifying Docker Container Port Mappings

Guide to Modifying Docker Container Port Mappings If you need to modify the port mappings for an existing Docker container, such as one with the ID 123456 , follow these steps carefully. This guide assumes that you have administrative access to the Docker host and are familiar with using a text editor like vim on Linux systems. service docker stop Step 1: Modify hostconfig.json First, edit the hostconfig.json file located in the container’s directory: sudo vim /var/lib/docker/containers/ 123456 /hostconfig.json Look for the "PortBindings" configuration. If your container was started with port mappings, this object will not be empty. Add or update the port bindings as follows: { " PortBindings ": { " 5700/tcp ": [{ " HostIp ": "" , " HostPort ": "10086" }] , " 6700/tcp ": [{ " HostIp ": "" , " HostP...

Optimizing Class Name Management with CSS Attribute Selector

Optimizing Class Name Management with CSS Attribute Selectors In modern web development, managing class names in HTML and CSS is a common challenge. As projects grow in size, the stacking and repeated use of class names often lead to bloated and hard-to-maintain CSS code. This article introduces how to leverage CSS’s special attribute selectors to manage class names in a more elegant and efficient way. The Problem In HTML, we frequently use class names to define element styles. For example: < div class = "bestseller out-of-stock" > ... </ div > As the project evolves, the number of class names can grow significantly, making the CSS code difficult to maintain. For example: .bestseller { ... } .out-of-stock { ... } In such cases, the CSS file becomes lengthy and hard to manage. The Power of CSS Attribute Selectors CSS provides three special attribute selectors that are similar in concept to regular expressions, helping us filter class names more flexibly ...
