==Getting Started==
This section explains how to develop programs for the Micromint Bambino using the mbed online compiler. Using an online compiler is a great way to get started with mbed development, as no local program installations are required on your system. The editor, compiler and linker are maintained by the mbed team and accessible via your Internet connection. The [[Bambino-210_Manual/Offline Toolchains|next chapter]] will cover offline toolchains for projects that require use of a compiler and debugger installed on your system.
===Setup mbed.org Account===
To use the online compiler you first need a developer account at mbed.org. If you have not done so, please visit [http://developer.mbed.org mbed.org], click on "Signup" and follow the steps to create an account. If you already have an account, login using your mbed username.
===Add Micromint Bambino Platforms===
The Micromint Bambino has two USB ports: USB0 for use by your mbed applications and USB1 for mbed development. When you connect your system to USB1 it will recognize the board as a removable flash drive to copy your programs and a serial port that can be used for program output. To add the board to the online compiler, click on the mbed.htm file in the removable flash drive detected by your system.

Enter the online compiler by selecting the "Compiler" button on the development site.


 #include "mbed.h"
 
 DigitalOut myled(LED2);
 
 int main() {
     while(1) {
         myled = 1;
         wait(0.8);
         myled = 0;
         wait(0.8);
     }
 }
