Plug in board via USB 
Check that it shows up in your device manager [if not go to #botcommands and type in /tags avrdude there is drivers available for clones there]
Select board + port in Tools

// First Sketch
Try “Blink” example (File → Examples → Basics)
Click Verify, then Upload

// Good Habits
Use comments (//) to explain code
/*
for multi line comments
*/

Save versions as you go
Keep wiring simple + labeled

1. Treat the iron like a pencil—never press down hard enough to break the lead of a pencil-tip.
2. Pre-wet the tip of iron, with solder, but solder should meet the pad/pin, *not the iron*.
3. Apply solder opposite the iron (e.g., iron at 12 o’clock, solder at 6).
4. Flux prevents oxidation and lowers surface tension; rosin etches through it.
  a. Flux melts fast (≈3 sec), rosin lasts longer (≈10 sec) but may leave residue.
  b. Use flux for tight joints, rosin for corroded ones.
5. Clean surfaces with abrasive if exposed >1 year.
6. Tin wires/components before soldering.
7. Clean iron tip with sponge if idle >5 min.
