Play the French Can Can Using an Arduino and Buzzer

Step 6 Load Sketch and Make Noise

Connect the Arduino to the computer using the USB cable.

With the Arduino IDE window active, select Tools > Board > [your Arduino board here]. In my case it was 'Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATmega328'.

Then select Tools > Serial Port > [your Arduino connected USB port here]. This step was trial and error for me, selecting a different port until the code loaded to the Arduino without error (see below).

Click the Upload icon to load the sketch to the arduino. If you see an error message, select a different port and try again at Tools > Serial Port > [your Arduino connected USB port here].

If it worked out, you should see one or more LEDs on the Arduino flash a few times as it loads, then a wonderful repeating BEEP! Magnifique!
