It provides the required power for the Arduino UNO to operate, so you can run your projects just by directly powering them though the USB cableĢ. This blue colour programming cable has three function in total which are listed below-ġ. To do this, simply use the programming cable (blue colour) to connect your Arduino board with the USB port of your computer. Once the Arduino IDE is installed on our computer, the next step will be to connect the Arduino UNO board with computer.

It will show a boot up label and then open the IDE with a bare minimum code on it as shown belowĬonnecting your Arduino board with Computer: Go to your desktop and find the Arduino exe file and launch it. Once completed it will show “completed” then click on the close button. The screen will be something like this shown below. Step 5: You should see the IDE getting installed on your computer.

It is high recommended to leave it as such and click on Install By default, it will be installed under Program files directory of C drive. Step 5: Now, we have to select the location at which the IDE has to be installed. Step 4: Next Under Installation options, make sure all the checkboxes are ticked as shown below and then click on next.

Step 3: Click on “I Agree” to agree to the License Agreement of Arduino. You might be asked for admin rights, if prompted click on yes. Once the download is complete, launch the exe file. There is a very good chance that it got updated by the time you are trying this out. By the time I am documenting this, the latest version is Arduino-1.8.5 and the size of the file is 90.4MB. Step 2: This will download an exe file, which will be the latest Arduino IDE of your time. Step 1: Download Arduino IDE from the official Arduino website, by simply clicking on the link below. Also make sure you have the admin rights of the computer for easy installation. If you get some problem Mac users and Linux users can use the respective links. The below instructions are direct for windows users only, for other platforms the procedure is almost the same.

The first step in our process will be to set up the Arduino IDE on your Laptop/PC.

The Arduino IDE is the software using which we will program the Arduino UNO board. But for the purpose of this tutorial, we will stick with only Arduino UNO. There are many hardware board other than Arduino UNO like the Arduino Mega, nano, mini, etc. Here the easy to use hardware refers to the Arduino UNO and the programming environment refers to the Arduino IDE. So what is it?Īrduino is an open-source development platform which consists of an easy to use hardware and a programming environment. This is not true, let’s make it clear here that Arduino is not a microcontroller. This is important because there is a common misconception among people that Arduino is a microcontroller. Sounds interesting enough?!!īefore we start learning Arduino, we should first know what it is. Then we will also build a small hardware using a bread board with a simple circuit consisting of a switch and LED and program our Arduino according to it. We will set up the Arduino IDE on our PC/Laptop and upload a sample blink program to the Arduino.

So what actually is this Arduino? How can you get started with it? What can you make with it to improve your lifestyle?Īll these questions will be tried to be answered in this tutorial, as we step through. Because of its simplified hardware design and programming environment, it is possible even for people without any electronics or computer science background to learn it with ease. Its ability to build things faster and cheaper with a massive online community support has made it an ideal choice for many people who are just getting started with electronics or programming. The name Arduino is typically buzz word among most of the electronics students or hobbyists alike.
