In the previous
article, we talk about the introduction of Arduino. Now we will discuss its
software and programming which is required to use Arduino.
Arduino Software
It is not possible to
program Arduino just by connecting it to the computer via USB. For this, you
need to have software installed on your computer. Through which you will be
able to give programs in Arduino. Which is called Arduino IDE.
To install the
software, go to their Arduino website (www.arduino.cc) and click on Software.
Then you have to install the latest version from there.
After installing, take
the shortcut to the desktop so that you can easily access it. Once the software
is installed, you need to familiarize your Arduino board with your computer.
That means a driver must be installed. To do this, connect the Arduino board to
your computer via USB and right-click on the PC on the desktop, and go to
Properties. Go to Device Manager from the left side and go to Ports, you will
see USB Serial Device. If you go to it and right-click, click on Update Driver
and select Browse my computer for driver software. Then go to Browse, download
and extract it, select the Driver folder that you got and click Next, the
driver will be installed. Once the driver is installed, go to Ports and show
Arduino Uno in place of the USB Serial Device, you will understand that your
driver has been installed.
After installing the
software and installing the driver, if you go to the Arduino software from the
desktop, you will find a field for writing programs. After writing the program
in it, clicking on the tick mark above will compile the program. Then when you
connect Arduino to the laptop with USB and click on the arrow sign, the program
will upload to Arduino. Now you can do this by opening the USB and getting
power on Arduino.
Basic Things before moving on to the Arduino project
It is easy to
understand the possibilities, problems, and steps of the work if you do a
virtual computer before you do a project. The simulation software is used to do
this virtually. So if we look at our projects first through simulation software
then we can understand if it is possible or if there is a problem. For this,
you can install Proteus on rice. To work with Arduino on Proteus, you need to
have an Arduino driver installed. I hope you can do this from Google. Now we
look at several projects on simulation software. For our next coming Arduino
project, I assume you can do the work of Proteus fairly well.
