Have Uno for a few days. Works great with Arduino IDE and Ubuntu 10.10. I see LCD/OLED displays talked about in many posts. Can this be done.? Enter sketch using touch screen monitor right into the Uno, compile and run program. A big order, I'm sure. And of course more hardware, and this and that, I'm sure also. I guess I'm talking about an external programer. Or am I dreaming? donde
So today, we've had Kerouac stream of conciousness, now this Hemingway-esque truncated sentences.
Can we hope for Steinbeck tomorrow?

No that's not how it works. The compiling is done by a computer, the only thing that gets down loaded to the arduino is the hex machine code. Any good at that?
Or am I dreaming?
Dreaming, sorry.
I didn't state the idea correctly. How about this? Do the sketch and compile in the computer. Then put the compiled code on a flash SD. Plug SD into shield designed for this purpose, and upload into Uno. Idea is to carry around a few SD's to demo the Arduino to friends that might be interested in learning and getting one. Forget about LCD for now.

You will have to write a new boot loader that has a SD filling system in it. This is too much for the space where the boot loader can live. So still dreaming.
OK, no problem, I'll keep learning about what I have, and depart posting on this board, till I have a "real" question. That way I won't get wacked by the other guy who thinks I'm Steinbeck! Everybody have a good day.

Simpler would be collect all your example sketches and put them into one sketch, a function for each one.
Have a button that cycles through them.
Turn on Arduino and LED blinks.
Push button and it moves to next one. Maybe a piezo beeping.
Push button and it moves on to next.
etc...

Have you read what you wrote in the first post? Do you call that English? I mean, Australians don't talk like that, British isles inhabitants neither, Americans neither, South Africans neither and none of the other english speaking countries write words in hope someone makes sentence out of them.
You feel offended by that response, I (and I'm sure most here) feel offended by your lazyness in writing in proper English.
Hey you guys! Have you considered that perhaps Donde's first language is not English? By his name I would guess he speaks spanish. At any rate I understood his question and if I knew the answer I would have answered without criticism of his grammar. This is not the way to welcome new people to the forum.
Hey Biocow,
I like your idea!
Thanks, donde

No, there was never any confusion here - both Steinbeck and Hemingway won Nobel prizes.
Dont be too quick to dismiss ideas. Its possible to accomplish something kind of like what you want, but it won't be as flexible or powerful as actually writing your own sketches on a computer. Real-time Arduino Interpreter Ditches The PC | Hackaday
I was looking into loading sketches without a computer (selecting with an LCD from many on an SD card) which is in theory possible (as it has been done from an SD card - Brett Hagman from Rogue Robotics wrote a bootloader for that) but nobody has got round to implementing the LCD selection stuff yet...
You can do this if the SD card and loader are another arduino system, then this acts like a computer, to program the first arduino in the conventional way. However why you would actually want to do such a thing is a bit of a mystery because ATMEGA processors are so cheap and most interesting stuff is dependent on what hardware you have attached.

Yeah I do agree with this.
I was just interested on a 'can it be done' kinda idea.
