Basically what the title says, The board is an Arduino Uno R3. This is my first project. I am trying to upload a simple example from FastLEDs, called color palette. Just gives me an error saying
Sketch uses 5230 bytes (16%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 302 bytes (14%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1746 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
