Our Tutorial

This tutorial is geared for beginners. You will learn all the basic information about how to
use Arduino controller board, sensors and components. If you want to study Arduino in
more depth, we recommend that you read the Arduino Cookbook written by Michael
Margolis.

Some codes in this tutorial is edited by Simon Monk. Simon Monk is author of a number of
books relating to Open Source Hardware. They are available in Amazon: Programming
Arduino, 22 Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius and Programming the Raspberry Pi.

your feedback is invaluable.
Lesson 1 Installing IDE
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the software side of he Arduino
platform.

In this lesson, you will learn how to setup your computer to use Arduino and how to set
about the lessons that follow.

The Arduino software that you will use to program your Arduino is available for Windows,
Mac and Linux. The installation process is different for all three platforms and
unfortunately there is a certain amount of manual work to install the software.

STEP 1: Go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and find below page.

(Note:The version available at this website is usually the latest version, and the
actual version may be newer than the version in the picture.)
STEP2 Download the development software that is compatible with the operating system

of your computer. Take Windows as an example here.

Click“Windows Installer”.

Click“JUST DOWNLOAD”.

Also version 1.8.0 is available in the material we provided, and the versions of our
materials are the latest versions when this course was made.
Installing Arduino (Windows)

Install Arduino with the exe. Installation package.

Click “I Agree” to see the following interface

Click “Next”

You can press Browse to choose an installation path or directly type in the directory you
want.
Click Install to initiate installation

Finally, the following interface appears, click Install to finish the installation.

Next, the following icon appears on the desktop


Double-click to enter the desired development environment

You may directly choose the installation package for installation and skip the contents below and
jump to the next section. But if you want to learn some methods other than the installation
package, please continue to read the section.

Unzip the zip file downloaded, Double-click to open the program and enter the desired
development environment
However, this installation method needs separate installation of driver.

The Arduino folder contains both the Arduino program itself and the drivers that allow the
Arduino to be connected to your computer by a USB cable. Before we launch the Arduino
software, you are going to install the USB drivers.

Plug one end of your USB cable into the Arduino and the other into a USB socket on your
computer. The power light on the LED will light up and you may get a 'Found New Hardware'
message from Windows. Ignore this message and cancel any attempts that Windows makes to try
and install drivers automatically for you.

The most reliable method of installing the USB drivers is to use the Device Manager.

This is accessed in different ways depending on your version of Windows. In Windows 7, you first
have to open the Control Panel, then select the option to view Icons, and you should find the
Device Manager in the list.

Under ‘Other Devices’, you should see an icon for ‘unknown device’ with a little yellow warning
triangle next to it. This is your Arduino.
Right-click on the device and select the top menu option (Update Driver Software...).

You will then be prompted to either ‘Search Automatically for updated driver
software’ or ‘Browse my computer for driver software’. Select the option to browse
and navigate to the X\arduino1.8.0\drivers.
Click 'Next' and you may get a security warning, if so, allow the software to be
installed. Once the software has been installed, you will get a confirmation message.

Windows users may skip the installation directions for Mac and Linux systems and

jump to Lesson 1. Mac and Linux users may continue to read this section.

Installing Arduino (Mac OS X)

Download and Unzip the zip file, double click the Arduino.app to enter Arduino IDE;

the system will ask you to install Java runtime library if you don’t have it in your

computer. Once the installation is complete you can run the Arduino IDE.

Installing Arduino (Linux)

You will have to use the make install command. If you are using the Ubuntu system, it is
recommended to install Arduino IDE from the software center of Ubuntu.
