i got it today and ive had it for 4 hours. i wrote my firs led program. here is it f your intrested

// blinking led 1
#define LED 13 //led connected to 13
#define LED 12
#define LED 11

void setup ()
{
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // pin as out put
pinMode(12, OUTPUT); // pin is output
pinMode(11, OUTPUT); // pin is output
pinMode(10, OUTPUT); //pin is output
pinMode(9, OUTPUT); // pin is output
pinMode(8, OUTPUT); // tunr led on
}


void loop()
{
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turns led on
delay(15); // wait a sec
digitalWrite(12, HIGH); // turns LED on
delay(25); // wait a sec
digitalWrite(11, HIGH); // tunr led on
delay(35); // wait a sec
digitalWrite(10, HIGH); // turn led on
delay(45); // wait a sec
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); // turn led on
delay(55); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);// tunr led on
delay(65);

digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn led off
delay(55);
digitalWrite(12, LOW); // tunrs LED off
delay(45);
digitalWrite(11, LOW); // turn led off
delay(35);
digitalWrite(10, LOW); // led off
delay(25);
digitalWrite(9, LOW); // led off
delay(15); // waits a seocnd
digitalWrite(8, LOW); // tunrs led off
delay(10);
}

i dont think its to bad considering ive never written anything in my life.

Also check out fritzing (www.fritzing.org). It lets you do up visual drawings to show how everything is hooked up, goes nice with your code

Enjoy it, if you've got any questions there's plenty of us here with experience, and also go to the Arduino forums (www.arduino.cc), and there's TONS more help there

good, glad it helped you out!

i broke the board already i think. the led wont stay on not even the onboard one.

Is the input power good? If you connect it to your computer and try to program it, does it acknowledge it? .."Did you try turning it off and on again?"

yes yes and yes.

well if you can program it it's good, otherwise it'd come up with an error of some sort. did you change your coding at all?

yeah i checked it again i was missing a semicolon after one of my delays.

yea get used to those semicolons...they suck lol
