ARDUINO! Let’s talk about
Why are developers cuckoo for arduino?

HELLO WORLD “ ”
Download the IDE http://arduino.cc/en/main/software
Wire up a LED
Blink 1: Arduino int led = 13; void setup() {
pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(led, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(led, LOW); delay(1000); }
Prototyping in C, Hey kids! is totally fun and easy.

Friends don’t let Friends PROGRAM IN C.
THE INTERNETS? How do I talk to “ ”
