Well.. the GUi IDE App is a java jar file.. but the language that it allows 
you to program the Arduino in is a might modul-ized C++ (called wiring).

ehhh.. COMPILE on PC.. then push and execute on Arduino. ;)

You bet.. Thanks for sharing..

BTW.. Here's some of the useful programming guides that I mentioned:
	http://xcssa.org/files/Arduino_booklet02-1.pdf
	(now only available in physical book form)

	http://xcssa.org/files/ARDUINO_NOTEBOOKv6.pdf
	(more in depth C++/wiring reference for Arduino)


Just curious.. how many people on list HAVE an Arduino now?

Sounds like we need to have another Arduino presentation.. Maybe in May after 
the Stallman trip. :)
