Step 7Coding the Arduino

Coding the Arduino
Here's some basic steps to program your arduino.

1) Download the source code from below
2) Open the file in the Arduino IDE
3) Press the "Upload to I/O Board" button
4) Once the program is uploaded it will start running

Note:You may need to change a few things in the "const int ledPins[12][2] ={" array if the led's turn on, out of order.


I tried to add a good amount of comments to the code, but if you have any questions, please ask them.
