You now have a flashing red LED, and are keen to connect to the internet. If you are unfamiliar with Arduino, you might wish to visit the extensive reference and examples pages linked to the main [http://www.arduino.cc/ Arduino Homepage] site. | You now have a flashing red LED which shows that the bootloader and Blinky program is running on the microcontroller , and are keen to connect to the internet.

Nanode is essentially just an Arduino with ethernet connectivity added - so anything that you can do on Arduino, you should be able to do with Nanode. | Nanode is essentially just an Arduino with ethernet connectivity added - so anything that you can do on Arduino, you should be able to do with Nanode. | ||
The easiest way for newcomers to access Nanode is to use the Integrated Design Environment (IDE) provided with Arduino. However, more experienced C coders may wish to use the open source GCC C compiler directly with AVRdude or the toolset provided by Atmel in AVR Studio. | |||
In short - there are several ways to skin the cat called Nanode. | |||
Note there are some slight differences, the LED on Nanode is on Digital 6 rather than Digital 13 on Arduino and it lights when digital 6 is set LOW - so it's sense is inverted - more on why this is later. | Note there are some slight differences, the LED on Nanode is on Digital 6 rather than Digital 13 on Arduino and it lights when digital 6 is set LOW - so it's sense is inverted - more on why this is later. | ||
