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 GODDAMN TERMINALS THAT ARE TOO BIG FOR THE GODDAMN JUMPER LEADS BUT HAVE ZERO RANGE OF MOTION SO CAN ONLY FIT VERY SPECIFIC WIRE SIZES< UUURRRGHGHHGH
