First Programming Goal - Basic Blinking in Arduino IDE!

 

Had some fun with getting things set up, again, because apparently I'm only reading directions as a last resort!  Took awhile to realize I was supposed to take the plastic part off the back of the Arduino board before connecting it to the black backing.  Putting the wires in all the right places was fun with my 40+ eyes, until I realized if I turned the page, I'd see a better and more clear diagram!

I opened up the Arduino IDE and began writing in the code.  (The video is edited without all the tons and tons of mistakes, so it looks like I'm super-efficient!)


As you can see - it now blinks happily away!

Nooooo, don't make me reflect on my learning!

 ... I just want to stick wires in breadboards and make froggies dance!!! Okay, but seriously, that stupid dancing frog was clearly my most ...
