I used to have long Arduino *.ino sketch files that were difficult to debug and add features. In this video, I share several incremental steps to take to split a big Arduino code file into separate different files and folders for future maintainability. Plus, we will use Arduino CLI to install libraries and track its version. We will use the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board for a practical example in one file before splitting the code into manageable bits.
