Ha ha problem solved, I just worked out where i went wrong. please disregard the below.
Below is what i have posted on Khazids thread, with regards to my Arduino and uploading files to it.
As you will read i am having some trouble and have explained at the bottom what I have done.
Any pointers and help is greatly appreciated.
Did you ever get messages like this when trying to upload the program into the nano board?
Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328" Sketch uses 7,332 bytes (23%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes. Global variables use 237 bytes (11%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,811 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes. avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM1": The system cannot find the file specified. Hi Skyone
Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.c...shooting#uploadfor suggestions. This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" enabled in File > Preferences.
So basically, as an experiment, I took your files as per the link, opened up the Arduino software put them in, plugged in the Arduino and hit the upload. It starts to run through the process, then gives me the above message Problem uploading to board. Only just started to play around with the software but thought it might be a simple thing, I am doing wrong.
