Problem (possible) with new Arduinos

Hi All.

Here's a heads up to help you avoid a potential frustration...

It appears the new Arduino boards have a different microcontroller
from the ones we've all been using up to now.

To accommodate these (Atmega 328) microcontrollers, you must
download the latest version of the Arduino IDE software.
Then, set up your software by clicking:

Tools -> Board -> Duemilanove w/Atmega 328

I am assuming this pertains to all the new boards, although
I haven't checked each one. I examined two at random and both
had the new chip.

Best,
Paul.

  1. Yes, I was quite frustrated. I planned to bring it up on Wednesday, but now it's moot. Stupid Arduino.
