1. Arduino Basics Connect Arduino to USB port
Open the Arduino folder on the desktop
Run arduino.exe
Tools/Port/select the one that says (Arduino)
File/Examples/01.Basics/Blink
Ctrl-U (Upload) and wait...
Watch the LED blink :)

2. What does this code do?
/*.....*/ or // are comments (ignored by the Arduino)
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); }

3. Main Loop void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // LED on
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // LED off }

4. Preparing to Control the HexBug
File/Examples/12.HexBug/Init
Ctrl-U
Connect the HexBug remote to the Arduino

5. Preparing to Control the HexBug
File/Examples/12.HexBug/Init
Ctrl-U
Connect the HexBug remote to the Arduino
Slide the HexBug's power switch to 1 or 2, depending on the number on the back of the remote control
Note that the HexBug times-out after a while, so it it's not responding, try turnint it off and on again

6. First HexBug Program File/Examples/12.HexBug/KBTest Ctrl-U
Tools/Serial Monitor
Type f b l or r (forward backward left or right) and hit ENTER
The HexBug should respond accordingly

7. Other Programs Try other examples in 12.HexBug
