Getting ShrimpKit working again..

The ShrimpKit are great single chip based prototyping kits that can be programmed using the Adruino IDE.

I started using them years ago in CoderDojo and then stuffed them in boxes. So they all need a bit of TLC to get their flashing LED projects working again for the Senior CoderDojo in Shannon Library this afternoon :)

First lets check the wiring. By step through these pages and comparing to the boards actual wiring.

Also ensure Adruino IDE is setup correctly:

Steps to get control of them!
1) Launch Adruino 1.8.8 IDE.
(Hah! As soon as I plugged one it it started to transmit "helo world" endlessly to the laptop stopping me from doing anything else!)
2) Select: Tools > Boards -> "Adruino/Genuino Uno"
3) Open the Flashing LED example project: File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink
4) Plug in the Shrimp Kit into a USB port and select its COM port (e.g. COM6 check using Device Manager)
5) Compile and download the Blink sketch program to the Shrimp kit: Sketch > Upload (or hit Ctrl-U)
6) The red LED should now be blinking! :)

Got two breadboards working at the library.
