Arduino IDE: Setup and First Sketch

The Arduino IDE is an open-source software used to write and upload code to Arduino boards. It supports programming languages like C and C++ and works across operating systems. The document provides steps to download and install the IDE, select a board, write and compile a sketch, and upload it to an Arduino board. It also recommends the Arduino Nano for simple, portable projects and the Uno for projects using ethernet shields or IOT sensors.

Arduino IDE

 The Arduino IDE is an open-source software,


which is used to write and upload code to the
Arduino boards.
 The IDE application is suitable for different

operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS


X, and Linux. It supports the programming
languages C and C++. Here, IDE stands
for Integrated Development Environment.
 If the project is simple with low cost and a
small profile it is better to go with Nano and
it can be used in portable electronics and
sensor gathering.
 If desktop prototyping is needed with

ethernet shields, then Uno is the best choice


and they can be used in IOT sensors as well.
 Step 1: Download the Arduino IDE
 The latest version of the IDE can be

downloaded from the official website.


 Link: arduino.cc/en/software
Step 2: Connect the USB cable to the Arduino
Step 3: Verify if the device is detected or not

 pen device manager in your PC and expand


the ports, you should see that the Arduino
Uno is detected, if not you need to install the
required drivers.
Step 4: Write your first sketch

 Open the Arduino IDE


 Open the Tools menu from the Menu bar
 Select "Arduino Uno" for the board and select

the assigned COM port


Step 5: Compile your sketch
Hit the tick button (compile) in the top-left corner of
the IDE, You should see that the code is compiled
successfully without any errors,
Step 6: Upload your first sketch!

 Hit the right arrow button (upload) next to


the upload button. Now while the code
uploads, you should see the LED's next to Tx
and Rx blinking indicating data transfer
between the board and the computer.
