Arduino Due Test

So to start with I wanted to make sure that the board worked and that I can program it.

In order to program that board you have to have 1.5.8 BETA IDE (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software#toc3)

I tested the board with the code from http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay

/* Blink without Delay

 Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to a digital  

 pin, without using the delay() function.  This means that other code

 can run at the same time without being interrupted by the LED code.

 The circuit:

 * LED attached from pin 13 to ground.

 * Note: on most Arduinos, there is already an LED on the board

 that's attached to pin 13, so no hardware is needed for this example.

// constants won't change. Used here to 

// set pin numbers:

const int ledPin =  13;      // the number of the LED pin

// Variables will change:

int ledState = LOW;             // ledState used to set the LED

long previousMillis = 0;        // will store last time LED was updated

// the follow variables is a long because the time, measured in miliseconds,

// will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int.

long interval = 1000;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)

void setup() {

  // set the digital pin as output:

  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      

}

void loop()

{

  // here is where you'd put code that needs to be running all the time.

  // check to see if it's time to blink the LED; that is, if the 

  // difference between the current time and last time you blinked 

  // the LED is bigger than the interval at which you want to 

  // blink the LED.

  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();

  if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) {

    // save the last time you blinked the LED 

    previousMillis = currentMillis;   

    // if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa:

    if (ledState == LOW)

      ledState = HIGH;

    else

      ledState = LOW;

    // set the LED with the ledState of the variable:

    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);

  }

}

As we can see the light on the board is blinking.
