[Cialug] Arduino Serial Ports

[David Champion]

You can do serial communication via the USB port.

Sound like you need to have a package called avrdude installed in Linux to
talk to the Arduino.

If you're running Windows, you just need the Arduino usb device driver. In
Win7, you have to select it manually, it's in the arduino software .zip
file.
