Help which board do I use?

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Whilst I'm not new to programming I am new to Arduino stuff. I am using the Faraduino board purchased from MUTR Educational resources. The chip on it says MEGA328P but there's no setting in the arduino software that I can use! I've tried all of them and all I get is an error message. I can program from Flowino no problem as it automatically chooses the device (but doesn't tell me which it is).
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance
Oli

You could (pick one):

  1. Try different boards.
  2. compare their design to the Arduino reference designs to see which it is most similar to.
  3. Send the folks at Mindsets Online a quick question through their "Contact Us" page.
