What is question has to do with Arduino? This is a question for EE.SE, not Arduino. – Butzke Oct 9 '13 at 14:49

These questions will unavoidably come up because the Arduino community attracts people who are beginners in electronics. Expect to see a lot of questions like this one. – Tristan Nov 20 '13 at 18:13
@Tristan we need to focus on questions that are not on topic at EE.SE or Robotics.SE, not questions "that will unavoidably come up". This site must differentiate itself to succeed, or it will be closed as a duplicate before it even reached private beta. – JohnB Nov 29 '13 at 17:28

this would be on topic at EE.SE if it asked how to wire an LED as a light sensor or code it in a non arduino use case. Edit the question to ask how to CODE it for Arduino. I think it's allowable. Certainly there will be Arduino specific factors which could differ from coding to support this device implementation on another platform. – David Coleman Nov 30 '13 at 18:37

What are the pros and cons of using Python instead of Processing in Arduino?
added by G M Aug 15 '13 at 15:25
link
As a programming language for the Arduino itself or data processing on the computer? – TheDoctor Sep 24 '13 at 13:14
Yes I would like to understand where is better to use one instead the other an why... I imagine that for data processing in the computer the Python library are more effective and simple to use. I don't know if once complied the code is the same using Python or Arduino ad programming language. Thanks – G M Sep 25 '13 at 7:46

This question could be phrased in a more interesting way like "How do I destroy my Arduino board? What are some common ways to do so?" :) – AsheeshR Sep 14 '13 at 3:28
