Additional Information

The document provides instructions for uploading a Blink sketch to an Arduino board and verifying it is working properly. It explains that the upload progress will be indicated in the Arduino IDE and the TX and RX lights will blink. If successful, the IDE will say "DONE UPLOADING" and the onboard LED will start blinking a few seconds later. It recommends changing the delay time in the sketch to 100 if the LED is already blinking to confirm control of the board. Additional troubleshooting and learning resources are also listed.

❻ You should see a bar indicating the progress of the upload near the
lower left corner of the Arduino IDE, and the lights labeled TX and
RX on the Arduino board will be blinking. If the upload is successful,
the IDE will display the message DONE UPLOADING.

❼ A few seconds after the upload has completed, you should see the
yellow LED with an L next to it start blinking. See Fig. 2.
If this is the case, congratulations! You’ve successfully pro-
grammed the Arduino to blink its onboard LED!

Sometimes your brand new Arduino is already programmed with


the Blink sketch, so you can’t tell if you are truly in control. If this is
the case, change the delay time by changing the number in the
parenthesis to 100, and upload the Blink sketch again. Now the
LED should blink much faster.
Fig. 2 Congratulations! You really are in control! Now it’s time to move
on to Project 1. (You needn’t save any changes you have made.)
