When the Arduino is connected, the operating system should recognize the board as a generic COM port (for example, my Arduino Uno uses a CH340G, which is an RS-232 serial to USB converter). Thanks to the wonderful world of USB, we do not need to provide power to the Arduino, as the USB provides 5V up to 2A. Next, you’ll need to connect the Arduino Uno board to the computer.

Once downloaded, install the IDE and ensure that you enable most (if not all) of the options, INCLUDING the drivers. In this tutorial, we will use Window 10, so ensure that you download the correct version of the IDE if you do not have Windows 10. Luckily, the Arduino designers have released multiple versions of the IDE for different operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. Since the Arduino uses a USB to serial converter (which allow it to communicate with the host computer), the Arduino board is compatible with most computers that have a USB port. You can download the IDE from the official Arduino website.
We’ll cover software installation, as well as connecting and configuring the Arduino IDE.

Do not panic, for help is at hand! In this how-to, we will look at how to get started with Arduino microcontroller boards. One final note.So, you decided to go and buy yourself an Arduino, but once it arrived, you realized you have no idea what to do with it. You should see the TX and RX leds on the board flash showing you that it is working.įinally the built in LED connected to Pin 13 will flash. Now try opening the Blink demo program from the example directory within the Arduino IDE, Verify/Compile it and upload it to your board. Next click on Tools | Board and select the type of board that you have Next, run the Arduino IDE application, which will be in c:\program files\arduino-0021 or similarĬlick on Tools | Serial Port and select the port number from above Open the Windows Control Panel and select the System app.Ĭlick on the Hardware tab and then on the Device Manager button.Ĭlick on the Ports (COM and LPT) option and note what com port has been allocated to the Arduino Board The Arduino IDE software needs to know the serial port number that Windows has just allocated to it The computer communicates with the Arduino board via a special serial port chip built into the Arduino board.
Click Finish to complete the installation Windows should now have found the Arduino drivers.

This will be in a subfolder called drivers in your arduino directoryĪfter selecting Next you may get a message like the one shown right. Now choose the location that the Arduino drivers are stored in. Select the Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) option and click Next You will get an error similar to the one right. Windows will fail to detect the device as it doesn't know where the drivers are stored. Next, plug in your Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable and wait while Windows detects the new device. You will end up with a directory like arduino-0021 or similar The images and description is based on installation under Windows XP, but the process should be similar for Vista and Windows 7.įirst we need to get the latest version of the Arduino software this can be downloaded from the Arduino website hereĭownload the Arduino software and unzip all the files into c:\program files This tutorial describes the installation of the Arduino IDE Development software and drivers for the Windows Operating System.
