== Activities ==
* Introduction
* Assemble your Freeduino:
** INSTRUCTIONS: http://mcukits.com/2009/03/12/assembling-the-freeduino-board-kit/
** verify values of resistors and capacitors (see charts in Practical Electronics for Inventors)
** check polarity (+/-) on capacitors, LEDs
** care with soldering
* Download and install most recent Arduino software: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
* NOTE: We have a newer, beefier processor than the original Arduino. You need to tell the Arduino software this. (if you had problems uploading, this may have been why)
** In the Arduino software, under Tools->Board, select the Duemilanove w/ Atmega 328.
== Assignment ==
* For Next Week: Assembled, functioning Freeduino, communicating with computer, able to upload test sketches.
