-Step #1 is to plug in your FTDI adatper and install the driver (in case it isnt on there already). If you have an FTDI cable proper, there is already a USB A connector on the end. If you have an FTDI adapter, you'll need a standard mini-B cable, pretty much everything uses these so steal your camera's or cell phone's data cable

 Next up, plug it into your computer! If you are using Windows you may hear a sound from the computer and a little popup bubble in the bottom right corner of the screen that says **Found New Hardware FT232R USB UART **

 ==== Using the command line AVRdude  ====
-Now if you open up a terminal and try running **avrdude -c ftdifriend** If you are using the avrdude installation thats inside the Arduino IDE, you can open up a **cmd** terminal and **cd** to the directory where you have the IDE installed and then go to** hardware\tools\avr**. Then you can run** bin\avrdude.exe -C etc\avrdude.conf -c ftdifriend **so for example, my installation is in **C:\arduino-0018\** I **cd** to **C:\arduino-0018\hardware\tools****\avr**
