- plug the arduino board in and download the software and drivers from arduino.cc
- install driver, restart, get LED and plug into 13 and GND
- choose: tools/serial/tty-usb-serial
- choose: tools/microcontroller/choose 8 or 16
- find example code in scketchbook/examples/blink-led
- press button on board and choose upload
- et voila *blinking*
- look through the code - change the delays
- no short circuit if you want your computer to live
- follow the course in the handbook...
