Thanks, mate.
I managed to fudge the Hello World example at this point in time. Was on a deadline of tonight to get it done before my wife flies out tomorrow morning for 4 months working o/seas.
I have installed the program onto her laptop so I can amend things as I need to. But for now, it is working and packed in her luggage. Just hope it doesn't get pinged as a suspicious item, lol.
Here is the end result.
Appreciate everyone's replies and support on this. It is actually my first working/completed Arduino project.
Cheers, Dave
