Go ahead and scroll thru the program a bit, its very short. Once you are done, now its time to finally download it to the
Chameleon. Simply press the Compile button ”
show the final size.
When the compilation is complete (there should be no errors), you should see the following text appear in the black text
output window at the bottom of the tool:
Now that we know the program is correct, lets upload it to the chameleon with the “
button, this will take some time…When the program is done uploading, the Chameleon will immediately reboot and you
should see the “Hello World” text scrolling on both the NTSC and VGA monitors. Also, in the black text output area of the
Arduino tool you should see the message:
That’s it - you have compiled your very first Chameleon program using the Arduino tool! Hopefully, you can see the
incredible power of the Chameleon. It leverages the toolchain and main processor of the Arduino, but adds a very
powerful multicore processor (the Propeller) to do the heavy lifting. And with literally 10 lines of code you are displaying
text on BOTH an NTSC and VGA screen! Imagine the possibilities!!!

WARNING!
Figure 15.58 – The “Hello World” program loaded into the Arduino tool.
The Arduino tool has terrible user diagnostics. While compiling or downloading it just
sits there without any updates in the text output area at the bottom of the screen or
status. This is quite disturbing, so just hold tight while the program compiles and
downloads it could take moments.
