How To Start Arduino Project?

First you need to know what you need to start a Arduino projects. You must understand basic programing. To program a Arduino you need a computer. You need to write your code Arduino Editor in the computer.

What we need?

1. Arduino Uno R3 board
2. Computer
3. USB cable

Step-1: Download Arduino Editor from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. Download the zip file from https://www.arduino.cc/download_handler.php?f=/arduino-1.6.7-windows.zip

Step-2: Extract the Zip file: arduino-1.6.7-windows.zip




Step-3: Connect the Arduino Uno R3(China) module with the USB cable

Step-4: For windows please show the driver folder in the extracted folder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step-5: After finish the driver installation you will see the below status

Step-6: Go to the Extracted folder double click arduino.exe

Step-7: go to tools-> boards select Arduino/Genuino uno

Step-8: Go to Tools->Port select Com3 (Arduino/Genuino uno). Make sure Arduino board is connected with USB. Arduino will take power from USB port.

Step-9: Open a Sample project. Go to File->Example->01. Basics select Blink

Step-10: Compile the program. Click on the compile sign on top right corner of the editor

Step-11: After compiling click on upload sign to upload the code in to Arduino board

Step-12: You will see A red light is blinking. You can change the below code to change the delay of the light

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
