Sometimes I don't mind fixing bugs

I’ve just spent a couple of hours chasing a bug which broke all the pixel animations in the pixelbot. It turned out that I’d got two devices attached to the same hardware pin. As soon as anything moved the motors the pixel output broke. Perhaps I need something which will stop pin reuse.

Stupid me. Then again, investigating the bug did force me to brush up on my knowledge of the debugger, write some useful diagnostic code and re-learn how it all actually works. If I wasn’t investigating a bug in the software this would have been a much more boring experience. Now I can crack on with the actual code I set out to write…..
