Part 1
Arduino IDE
As an open source software,Arduino IDE, based on ongoing Processing IDE development is an integrated
development environment officially launched by Arduino.
By using Arduino IDE, you just write the program code in the IDE and upload it to the Arduino
circuit board. The program will tell the Arduino circuit board what to do.
So,Where can we download Arduino IDE?
STEP 1:
Go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and you will see the following page.
The version available at this website is usually the latest version, and the actual version may
be newer than the version in the picture.
STEP 2:
Download the development software that is suited for the operating system of your computer.
Take Windows as an example here.
If you are MacOS, please open 04 For Mac Setting up development environment
You can install it using the EXE installation package or the green package.
The following is the exe implementation of the installation procedures. Press the option
“Windows Installer”.
STEP 3:
Press the button“JUST DOWNLOAD”
to download the software.
The download file:
STEP 4：
These are available in the materials we provide, and the versions of our materials are the latest
versions when this course was made.
Choose "I Agree" to see the following interface.
Choose "Next" to see the following interface.
Press "Install" to initiate installation.
Finally,the following interface appears,
you should choose Install to ensure
the correct installation.
The installation is required to work with the
UNO board. If you don't install the software,
the computer would not be able to talk to
the board.
STEP 5：
Next, the following icon appears on the desktop.
Double-click to enter the
desired development
environment.
① verification
② upload
③ new file
④ open
⑤ save
⑥ serial port
⑦ code writing area
⑧ information bar
STEP 6：
Connect development board to the computer.
STEP 7：
Open the Arduino IDE. Select“ Tool ”→“ Board ”→“ Arduino/Genuino Uno ”.
Select“ Tool ”→“ Port ”→“ COM (Arduino/Genuino Uno) ”.
Each Arduino Uno board has a different COM number on the same computer
and usually the COM number is associated with a suffix name“(Arduino/Genuino Uno)”
in Arduino 1.8.9. You should choose the COM number that is shown.
Tips:
If you see the port“COM (Arduino/Genuino Uno)”, it means that the board has
been connected correctly to the computer. At this time, the Arduino development
environment has been successfully built.
If you see the COM port associated
with Arduino/Genuino UNO, your
automatic installation is complete
and working, go to Step 9.
Otherwise, you need to install the
driver in the following way manually.
STEP 8：
Right click unknown device -- Update
Open Device Manager by right clicking
Driver Software.
My Computer⸺Management⸺Device Manager.
It shows that the driver has not been installed, and
you need to click Browse my computer for driver
software to find the drivers. The driver is in the
Arduino folder. Normally you will install the folder
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino. Arduino install folder.
Select the Arduino driver folder. Install Arduino USB device.
STEP9:
After the driver is installed, please open the IDE and then click
“ Tools ”→“ Board ”→“ Arduino/Genuino Uno ”.
And then Select“ Tool ”→“ Select ”→“ Tool ”→“ Port: ”→“ COM (Arduino/Genuino Uno) ”.
Each Arduino Uno board has a different COM number on the same computer and usually the COM
number with a suffix name“(Arduino/Genuino Uno)”in Arduino 1.8.9. You should choose the COM
number that is shown.
At this time, the Arduino development environment has been successfully built !
