Ardunio IDE: installing and setting up the development environment
You can download Ardunio IDE from the official Ardunio website at this link. The official version of the program is distributed for money. You can try searching for the free version on the Internet, but we do not guarantee its functionality or the presence of viruses.
After downloading the Ardunio environment, run the installer and follow its instructions.
Connecting the Ardunio UNO board to a PC
So, the Ardunio IDE development environment has been successfully installed, but to work with it we need to connect the Ardunio UNO board to the computer.
The Ardunio board is connected to the computer via USB, after which two LEDs should light up:
- light-emitting diode ON, which indicates that the board is in an active state;
- light-emitting diode L, which reports that the board is receiving power, and the Ardunio microcontroller itself has begun to execute the default LED blinking program.
Next, you will need to find out which COM port was assigned to the Ardunio UNO. To do this, open device Manager and open the tab Ports (COM and LPT). If you see that the tab will have an item Ardunio ONE, where the port number is displayed in the arms, this means that everything was successful.
Remember this port number, because you will really need it later.
Known Issues
- If after connecting the board in the tab Ports (COM and LPT) If no devices appear, this may indicate a faulty USB cable. Try replacing the USB cable. If the USB cable and connector work, then this can only indicate a malfunction of the Ardunio board itself.
- If in the tab Ports (COM and LPT) instead of the desired name, the inscription is displayed Unknown device, then you should download drivers for the board. This can be done as follows:
- Disconnect the board from the PC.
- Click on Unknown device right click where through <font><font>Materials</font></font> select Driver - Update & Save - Vypolnit poisk drayrov na etom computer.
- Place a check mark next to Including subfolders and search for drivers according to the bitness of your operating system:
- for Windows 32-bit: C:\Program Files\Arduino\drivers;
- for Windows 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\drivers.
- for Windows 32-bit: C:\Program Files\Arduino\drivers;
- Disconnect the board from the PC.
Setting up the Ardunio IDE to work with the Ardunio UNO board
After connecting and setting up the Ardunio UNO, you should proceed to the settings of the development environment itself for working with this board.
To do this, open Ardunio IDE and follow the path: Service - Serial portwhere select the port that was assigned to your board (see above).
Once the port is selected, the Ardunio IDE will understand that something is connected to this port and that “something” will need to be worked with.
The crucial step in the Ardunio IDE and Ardunio UNO settings is to set the instructions that tell you which board you need to work with. To do this, go to the tab ServiWith - Plateau and then Ardunio ONE. Сonclusion
Installing and configuring the Ardunio development environment is a painstaking task that requires great care. If you encounter errors during the process, then you have done something wrong and the entire process of setting up the Ardunio IDE needs to be reviewed again. In this article, we tried to describe as clearly as possible the process of installing this environment in the most accessible language, but if you really decide to work in this area, then you will need to read quite a lot of technical literature in order for your work with the Ardunio IDE to be high-quality and productive.
