Coding Time

Yes so as now we are well aware of  the don'ts lets start coding and programming. To program an arduino board you will eed a special softawre called Arduino IDE (Interactive Development Enviornment). You can download it from the official website or simply follow this link. Keep on visiting the webpage in case there might be some updates in the software. Follow the installation procedure and complete the installation. After this open the Arduino IDE and you should see a window like this.



Now head over to the file option and go to examples and select the file as shown below:

Open the Blink sketch because it will test if your board is able to communicate with your PC or not.
Connect you Arduino Board to you PC, Wait for some time. 
Now follow the intructions as in videos.
And when you are done uploading this is what you will get. Arduino program to blink the on board LED.


Thats it for now. If your Arduino doesn't  start then head on to this Guy's Video. He has done a nice video on trouble shooting Arduino connection with PC.
