| May 23, 2021 at 22:37 | comment | added | Majenko | @chrisl if enough people think it's worth reopening (by voting for it) then who am I to argue? | |
| May 23, 2021 at 22:37 | comment | added | Dave Newton | It turns rant-y on "I'm taking my RPi and going home" (even though the situation is roughly equivalent delta more Arduino clone HW). It turns opinion-y because there's no answer to "where is all the Arduino documentation", which is (again roughly) unanswerable. I'm not opposed to an expository response, but it's not "answerable" in the traditional sense--on main this would be closed for identical reasons; I don't know how the Arduino SE rolls yet. | |

| May 23, 2021 at 22:17 | comment | added | chrisl | The OP is clearly frustrated, but that doesn't make it a rant. An answer might help here. I can understand the frustration from having lacking documentation. The reasons for such a lack are also important to know. And I think we are seeing (and answering) questions on this site, that are way worse that this. I'm totally willing to answer this question (though I might do so tomorrow and not now. It's time for bed here) | |
| May 23, 2021 at 22:12 | comment | added | Majenko | @chrisl i'd say it's more of a rant than a question. | |
| May 23, 2021 at 22:09 | comment | added | chrisl | @Majenko Is this question really opinion based? I was at maybe 5/6th of writing an answer, that gives more context about the documentation topic (which is the OP is clearly lacking). I would say this is worth an answer. The OP asks how one is expected to navigate in the Arduino community. While surely having room for opinion, the question targets the broad consensus and how finding information works in the Arduino community. Voting to reopen. | |

Thst isn't twitter: hashtags aren't a thing!

| May 23, 2021 at 22:01 | comment | added | Majenko | It's pretty normal, since 90% are churned out by factories in China, and documentation is very much a luxury. Go to a reputable supplier (Adafruit, etc) for good quality and good support. | |
| May 23, 2021 at 22:01 | comment | added | Dave Newton | You search for tutorials, libraries and their documentation, etc. For example, for this, I searched for "HiLetgo 1602 LCD Keypad Shield 1602 LCD Expansion Shield arduino" (although "1602 LCD Keypad Shield Arduino" would be sufficient) and found multiple tutorials and examples. The "main website" has documentation for Arduino products, not random products from other companies. It's precisely the same for RPi, although with fewer standardized boards/peripheral chipsets. | |
