Today I'm going to test the Arduino things with my zero knowledge on electronic part. It is indeed a big challenge for me! Pray hard and hope that the sensors and Arduino board won't burn >.< ! I feel excited, yet Chuak!(means afraid)... Lets getting start!
First, install the Arduino software in my PC. This stage already make me chuak! I saw the troubleshooting in Arduino website saying that driver doesn't install in Windows 7 64-bit!!! I've spent some time in research how to install driver in my PC and luckily, I've found the new update driver that can be installed! Else I'll have to format my PC @@!
This is the software use to write the program and upload to board:
After that, I randomly pick one tutorial to testing the board whether function or not. I've picked the tutorial to make the LED light and fade out. Here is the basic arrangement of the testing:
This is the code to make it work:
First try... Second try... OMG the LED won't light up! I've gone through some forum online and my hard work finally pay off! Readjust the setting and wohoo! It shine!
This is only the first step. I'll test with other sensor in upcoming days.
