- Need to set Serial Monitor to
Newline
{ "Some", String" }
is a short hand to create string arrays

If the ATmega328 chip does not have a bootloader on it already, you will need to flash it with the bootloader with an existing arduino.

Also,
- Take of 104 capacitor on d2-d3
- Take off programmer (reset interferes with flashing)
- Open the ArduinoISP sketch and upload it to the existing arduino (make sure Tools > Board is set to Uno or relevant)
- Switch the Tools > Board to
Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328
- Go to Tools > Burn Bootloader
