Hi
My name is Henrik, I live in Copenhagen Denmark. I have been making electronics, arduino, esp since 2018, but when I was younger, I soldered electronics kits and I have resumed my old hobby. But am not that good at programming and there for I hope this super good site can teach me programming. 😀 😀

Welcome to the forum.
When you say you are not that good at programming just how good are you? Do you understand the basic concepts that are used in all programming languages?
When you say you have soldered electronic kits how much did that entail understanding electronics and circuit design? I usually just make use of a solderless breadboard. If I decide I really want to keep the circuit for some practical application then I might solder it up.
I don't think forums are a source of tutorials they are more a place where you can exchange ideas and seek answers to particular things you can't figure out yourself and perhaps share projects.
If you have been playing with the Arduino since 2018 you must have picked up some basic programming knowledge along the way as well as some electronic design knowledge. What Arduino projects have you done so far? Usually you start with turning LEDs or motors on/off and reading button switches, POTS and other sensors.

Hi
I understand the basic concepts that are used in all programming languages, as I have been programming HTML / CCS for quite a few years and I am ok good at that.
In general I find a file example about the thing I want to try to make work, for example right now I have bought an LED RGB 8x32 panel where I have 2 files, a file where a text runs from one side and over to the other and a file where I show 7 different colors. But I know that you can do many different things on such an LED panel, eg how to draw a circle, a triangle, etc. Have tried to change the coding to what I really, but it does not work and I get tired quickly.
However, I have made a solar cell weather station, with a WEMOS D1 mini, a TP4056 charging board and a BME180 sensor, a DHT11 and a rain gauge, it works fine. I have used the coding that was on the website, adapted it to my needs.
Just have to say
that there are not enough sun hours right now, so the voltage does not get up to the 5v that WEMOS needs, but it will probably get better when it gets summer.
When I soldered electronic kits, I got to know how the construction kit dirgram worked. I work as an electrician on a daily basis, so wires, dirgrams, etc. I know what is.
Of course I have turning LEDs or motors on / off and reading button switches, POTS and other sensors both with Arduino Uno and WEMOS
