What do you mean? everything is shown step by step and the programing section is almost done for you.

Hi,
If you do not want to build the electrical board you can purchase the Roboduino - it has all the capabilities of the $50 Robot Board and more ! It uses the same main microcontroller as the $50 Robot Board that you would have to make.

I'm working on a modified tutorial for using the Roboduino with the 50 dollar robot tutorial - either wait two weeks for the tutorial or email me and I'll walk you through the stages ( my email is airman00 at gmail.com )

Well heres a simplified version of the circuit.

For programming all you have to do is to connect the serial port of the comp<if it has one> to the 9-pin on the programmer,
Or else buy a serial to usb cable <youll hve to intstall a software for that> and then Download avr studio 4, Build the program {thats easy} and then
Connect to ponyprog or the if you got an isp programmer<I suggest this> Press this button circled on the following pic on avr studio 4
