    @Brendan Your video is somewhat adequate for the intended purpose, however, from an engineer's point of view it is lacking in providing pertinent facts. Such as the part number, data sheet, and source…

    Jeremy, thanks for your intro videos. I am just getting started myself in Arduino though I have done some simple electronics projects using Atmel chips. Here is an example using ATTiny13 chips. www.youtube…

    Hi, im new to arduino but im doing a project whereby i want to control a 3 digit seven-segment display with 74HC595 shift register and with an analog keypad input. how do i do the code because i have tried and nothing appears happens. im confident of my connection but sometimes my arduino has problems, it can't be detected by my computer and that has let to a few problems with uploading the code to the board so sometimes i get confused when my ardunio has problems or if the code is not the right one for my seven-segment. Can you help me with this?

    As leon_heller and WestFW have stated, you need to have a compatible microcontroller and it needs to be loaded with the Arduino bootloader. You can't just insert a new ATmega into the Arduino board and expect it to work. You should read this about bootloaders, then burn the bootloader to your ATmega IC if not already done so. Then try uploading your sketch and see how you go.
