Download the Arduino IDE - https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/softwarekoshari said:nice, and the pinouts have equivalents in both platforms?
i picked up an encoder but haven't checked it out yet, hope its compatable for this library/code.
there are some build in libraries, but you will also need to download some.
i have a serial display which uses 4 wires (5V, GND, SDA, SCL) and it requires a LiquidCrystal_I2C library and a quick 'sketch' (program) to find out the specific address on the SDA bus - given you can have multiple I2C devices connected to the same wire.
Libraries are basically references to particular devices, that allow you to call specific functions. you have an #include ___ line at the start of your code, a single call line to a variable (e.g. LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd = LiquidCrystal_I2C(0x27,20,4); and then things like lcd.print(adsfsdfa) will allow you to put something on the LCD.
The biggest issue I've had is these ******* TERMINALS THAT ARE TOO BIG FOR THE ******* JUMPER LEADS BUT HAVE ZERO RANGE OF MOTION SO CAN ONLY FIT VERY SPECIFIC WIRE SIZES< UUURRRGHGHHGH
