My Arduino Duemilanove arrived today. I added the bits to Ubuntu as described on the web site, downloaded the IDE and it loaded. I am using Java 6, not 1.5 as described and all seems well. I checked the board type was right and set the USB port to use. Loaded the blink program, which must be the electronics "Hello World" equivalent and plugged in the board to a USB cable. Clicked download, the board reset and the LED started to blink. I changed the space and mark length, uploaded it and the LED responded. This is so easy! Writing simple C code rather than PIC assembler is a doddle.
What's next?
