Getting Started with Arduino

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

My colleagues and I and our 5th grade students are getting ready to launch a high altitude balloon for the 3rd time, but this is the first time we've programmed an Arduino to measure temperature, pressure, etc. Last year a parent did all of the programming for us. We've started using Jeremy Blum's (@sciguy14) tutorials on YouTube, specifically Tutotrial 1: Getting Acquainted. We're using an Arduino Mega 2560 and writing the sketch on a Mac (OS 10.10.2). We aren't able to get the led to light up, except when it's first plugged in. Our sketch is exactly the same as Jeremy's. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the quick response. In the future I'll be sure to include the code. Turns out I selected the wrong serial port. All is better in the world of Arduino for us. Now to try more complicated programming…

    Please post the Code.  Have you selected the correct Port to com with Arduino, Select the Correct TYPE of Arduino. When you compile and download the program, do the lights on the arduino flash as its being programmed.

    dmaruska has made some good suggestions.

    If you are able to post your code then it would be much easier to help you. image

    I'll definitely include the code in future discussions.
