turning arduino off saftley

Post by big93 »

is there a specific way you are sapposed to turn off, or shut off the arduino before you pull the usb cable out. Because i want to make sure that every time i am simply pulling out the chord i a not messing up the ardiuno. And is the code sapposed to stop, or is it saved until i overwrite the code with more code? is there a way to stop the code, and if so is the code sapposed to be still running when i pull out the usb cable?

thnks

sketches are stored in the arduino 'permanently'
is there a way to stop the code,
yes, unplug the arduino
