Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on ongoing Processing IDE development is an integrated development environment officially launched by Arduino. By using Arduino IDE, you can just write the program code in the IDE and upload it to the Arduino circuit board. The program will tell the Arduino circuit board what to do. In this page, we will install the Arduino and check the Arduino development environment
Go to Arduino IDE official website and you will see the following picture. The version available at this website is usually the latest version, and the actual version may be newer than the version in the picture. Download the software that is suited for your operation system.
Install the software as default. If the installation success, the following icon will on the desktop.
Open Arduino IDE, you will see the following interface. You can find a detail explanation of interface at Arduino IDE official documentation.
Connect your Arduino board to the computer. Select Tool → Board → Arduino Uno. Then select Tool → Port → COM (Arduino Uno). If you see the port COM (Arduino Uno), it means that the board has been connected correctly to the computer. At this time, the IDE has been successfully built. If you can’t see the port, try to use different port on your computer or use a different data cable.
Now we complete the Arduino IDE setup, and your Arduino is ready for uploading software!
