How do I post a question properly?

If you run into issues and do not know what to do anymore, this is a good address to post your problem and receive the attention of the technical team of Inholland (and Inholland Composites). But how do you write a question effectively?

[fate4gle]

Writing a question properly is the key to getting a helpful answer! With this in mind, please provide as much relevant information as possible. A simple "My program does not work, what now?" is, hence, not a good approach!
In the title of the question, please include the software you are using (and language!). At first sight, it should be possible to spot if it is "down the alley" of any coding-guru seeing your post. This could look something along the lines of this: "Issue with controlling individual legs of a robotic cat using an ESP32. (Arduino IDE)"

To help you with your problem, give us (the potential helper) the following in the main text field:

• The project you work on (e.g. the robotic cat)
• What you try to achieve (e.g. moving the legs of the cat individually)
• The expected result (e.g. press of button X and the front left leg is moving)
• The current result (e.g. press of button X and the front right leg is moving)
• What you tried/did so far and how it turned out (e.g. Double checking the wiring and unit test of the leg alone (both working properly)
• If you could find something online that seems to be similar (with a link!)

Depending on the situation, please include a code-snipped of the function that does not work the way it is supposed to. If you do so, please use the code snipped button (" < > "). Note: copy your code in here, select it all and click on the code snipped button. The resultant code snipped should look something like this:

#define BUTTON_PIN 5
#define PWM_LEFT_LEG 6
#define PWM_LEFT_LEG 7
#define PWM_LEFT_LEG 8

void Setup(){
 Serial.Begin(9600);

Other than this, keep in mind that your helpers are not necessarily familiar with the project itself, they might request more information!
