Arrays - Randomly choosing an element
In my program so far, I've established some variables (different colours which hold an RGB value).
I'm trying to get my program to randomly choose one of these colours but when I look at the serial port only 1's and 0's are being printed.
I'm new to C and am so lost, if it helps I can write what I want in python.
