I have decided to take the plunge into Arduino technology.
I spent the early part of my career as a computer programmer and later on used my programming skills as a financial planner. Coding is a skill that takes time to develop, debug, and perfect.
I will admit that I know little about Arduino, so I will be anxious to see how this thread develops.

looks like a Dr Duino is similar to the Radio Shack 100 in 1 Project Kits. This Dr Duino page says it provides example programs.
Ultimately you need the Arduino Interactive Development Environment (IDE) that provides a windows application for writing, compiling and downloading code.
but instead of writing programs that do specific things like toggle digital outputs to turn on/off LEDs or read button switches, a single program, PcRead.ino, will save time to learn what the Arduino functions do. It uses the IDE's serial monitor to enter commands that exercise many of the Arduino's I/O capabilities and display input values
once you're familiar with the Arduino functions, you can develop you own applications or add new commands to pcRead

Hi guys,
I have decided to take the plunge into Arduino technology. I have purchased the basic Arduino kit offered by Dr. Duino and I assembled it last night. My problem is that I can't open the testing and programming software. I have the software loaded on to my computer, but when I try to open the program I'm getting a message asking me to find the necessary software needed to open the Dr. Duino program. When I do that, I get a message that the system is not able to process my request. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
I'm going to send a message to the Dr. Duino people asking for help, but I thought I would also ask the question on the forums.
Thanks,
Dave
