This weeks I installed the Arduino IDE on Raspian. Once complete, I was able to upload a sketch from the Raspberry PI to blink the LED on pin 13 of the Arduino.

As usual, the instructions in the book were straight forward and easy to follow. It does, however, assume that I had some basic knowledge how an Arduino works.

This project isn't hard but I did have to know some Linux command line and some code in the Arduino IDE.
