I finally found my courage & clicked "Upload" on that Arduino thing - and to my great relief & the benefit of my client, it worked!

- so I immediately made an edit & uploaded again because now it's routine, you know...

(and yes, I did an incremental save of the sketch file)

I feel like my hacker cred just got a substantial upgrade

@jwcph
Backup all the libraries too. Non professional maintained libraries love changing their interfaces at random. 4 years of library interface drift broke some code I have in major ways. Took over 3 months to just get it to run again.

@gray_witch Nope, didn't understand any of that if this project breaks I'm going to have to drop it & tell the client to get a proper Arduino guy on it - but it's very temporary & prototype-ish, so we're hoping it holds up as long as it has to
