Does anyone know how to program a arduino board. I have the program, just don't know how to get it into the board. Just can't figure that part out... please someone help
 
what Arduino board are you using? Does it have a standard or mini USB connetion port or just 6 pin headers?

All right awesome.

so here is what you have to do

1- make sure arduino is pluged in to the usb port and drivers are installed
2- run arduino software and load your program you want upload to the board
3- in the software under tools menu go to board and select arduino Duemilanove ... now there are two to select from . the ATmega168 or ATmega328 . look at your board and on the chip it will show the chip number. select the one you have .
3- under the tools menu go to serial Port and select the highter number port not com 1
4- now you should be able to upload your program.. i always verify the program before i upload just in case there are errors in the code


let me know how it works out for ya or any other questions

I'm following along on this one since I have had mine for awhile and have not figured it out yet
 
i have the program for all of the lights to do what they need to do, I just dont know how to get it from comp. to board...
 
here you go :)

http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software look for Arduino 1.0.1 select windows and save to desktop you dont have to install anything just unzip it and run arduino.exe

There are lots of test programs to play with and learn from that are included with the software

now the program you want to upload is it in a file folder? or just a file?

You can open the file in Word Pad copy all the code and past it. now when the program loads a blank window is there and will show sketch with the current date, that window is where you past the code to. To verify the code click on the check mark button top left to write code to board click the right arrow button. remember to check your settings


more info on the code you have would be great as well
