Welcome to Digital Town

Welcome to Digital Town. This site was started to help teach some youngsters how to program in C++ with Arduinos and acted as a resource to some YouTube videos I had created.

Since then the site has grown as more videos and content has been added and is slowly being restructured to deal with the extra volume of content. Some of the latest tutorials are listed below. The various sections of the website contain more projects and tutorials.

Why is this site called Digital Town?
I owned the domain name so it seemed a waste not to use it.
