Arduino simplifies things by only using just one coding language. Here's what you need to get started with developing software for the tiny device.

When the Arduino code sees the button getting pressed, it brings the corresponding LED pin high and starts a fade out timer using the SoftPWM library by [Brett Hagman].

Having easily parsed code reduces your cognitive load and makes solving problems easier. To try and help with this, [PTS93] developed the Stator library to make certain common tasks simpler to read.

Premier space exploration disaster simulator, Kerbal Space Program, is fun to play with regular controls, but it can be improved with this DIY build that lets you launch ships with a giant red button.

Thorin Klosowski DIY musical instruments are their own thing entirely, but if you're looking for a place to start, Adafruit has a guide to building your own MIDI controller using an Arduino.
