Yes I mostly use php and other website languages and I believe the Arduino code is based on C.
At work nobody likes using C; although I am told it processes data fast.
There is one guy at work who can help me but he is currently on holiday and I do not like to keep asking him as he is overworked as well.
I think I have also created myself a hardware problem; possibly with floating voltages. Again they were OK a couple of weeks ago but not when I connected the Arduino up this time 
Anyway another job for tomorrow.
