These three things are:
- Download the software
- Write our first program using this software
- Then connect the Arduino to the computer with a USB cable and download the program to the controller.
As an end result we have the diode blinking.

Developing a program for the Arduino is very easy. We need to do again three things. Download the software that we'll use for writing programs. Write our first program on the keyboard and then connect the Arduino to the computer with a USB cable. Like this.
We then upload our program from the computer to the Arduino and the diode starts blinking.

Starting with Electronics and Arduino
Robotics is great. Mindstorms are great. But for a student to take the next step he or she needs to take a step back, learn what's 'below' and from there discover what would be 'above'.
So we, the content creators at FLLCasts, in order to teach the world of electronics and prepare the next generation of creators from the youngest age, by presenting knowledge, asking questions and searching for the answers of these questions, are building this course for basic electronics with Arduino, that we call "Starting with Electronics and Arduino".
The course is still in development

Getting started. Unpacking. First device and program
Why: It's an easy and fun example to introduce you to Arduino
How: Presenting questions and trying answer this questions. Experimenting with different tasks.
What: We would like to show you how to control a diode. We would build a device and write programs for this device.
End Result: A blinking diode
