Now that the IDE is installed, connect your Arduino Uno to your computer via a USB cable. The green LED labeled PWR on the board should come on, and the yellow LED labeled L should start blinking. The Found New Hardware Wizard window comes up, and Windows should automatically find the right drivers. NOTE If you have trouble with any…

When the file download has finished, double-click to open the installer. You will be shown a license. Read the license, and if you agree with it, click the I Agree button. You will be given a list of components to install, and, by default, all of them will be selected. Leave them all selected and…

Invoke the Arduino IDE, either through the Applications folder or by using Spotlight. From the Tools menu in the Arduino IDE, select Serial Port and then select the port that begins with /dev/cu.usbmodem or /dev/tty.usbmodem. They will probably also say Arduino/Genuino Uno following the port name. Both of these ports refer to your Arduino board, and it makes no difference…

The Arduino Uno uses a driver provided by the MacOS operating system, so there is nothing to install. Now that the IDE is installed, connect your Arduino Uno to your Mac via a USB cable. The green LED labeled PWR on the board should come on, and the yellow LED labeled L should start blinking. NOTE You might see a…

When the file download has finished, depending on your browser settings, it may be automatically expanded or you may need to manually expand it, usually by double-clicking on it. Drag the Arduino application into your Applications folder.

To program the Arduino board, you must first install the IDE by downloading the appropriate file from the Arduino website. Choose the right version for your operating system. (For Windows choose the option Win 7 and Newer). On the next page of the website you may chose to make a financial contribution to support the Arduino IDE, but…

The IDE is a special program running on your computer that allows you to write sketches for the Arduino board in a simple language modeled after the Processing language. The magic happens when you press the button that uploads the sketch to the board: the code that you have written is translated into the C language (which…

The Arduino board is a small microcontroller board, which is a small circuit (the board) that contains a whole computer on a small chip (the microcontroller). This computer is at least a thousand times less powerful than the MacBook I’m using to write this, but it’s a lot cheaper and very useful for building interesting…

Arduino is composed of two major parts: an Arduino board, which is the piece of hardware you work on when you build your objects; and the Arduino Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, the piece of software you run on your computer. You use the IDE to create a sketch (a little computer program) that you upload to the Arduino…
