IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR REV1.1 AND REV1.2 BOARDS:
|
When selecting the board type from the Arduino IDE, please select
1) Arduino Duemilanove Or 2) Nano w/Atmega 328 This is due to the Uno Optiboot bootloader (see details here: http://www.arduino.cc/ Rest assure, there is no difference in the functionality of the board other than looking like a different board type to the Arduino IDE. |
What You Need
● Arduino Software (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
● USB to USB-B cable
● PC/Mac with a USB port
Uploading Your First Sketch
1. Get the Arduino software if you have not already
a. Download from http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
b. Unzip the zip file to somewhere like C:\ (on Windows), so you will end up with a folder like C:\arduino-0022
2. Prepare for serial communication
a. Connect the USB-B end of the cable into the board
b. Connect the other end of the cable into a USB port on your PC/Mac
c. If your computer prompts for drivers, point it to the “drivers\FTDI USB Drivers” subfolder of the Arduino software, e.g. “C:\arduino-0022\drivers\FTDI USB Drivers”
d. You should now see the LED labeled ON near the reset button light up
3. Load the sketch
a. Open the Arduino software
b. Open the LED blink sketch: File menu > Examples > Basics > Blink
c. Select the Duemilanove board: Tools > Board > Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATmega328
d. Select the serial port: Tools > Serial Port
This is the serial port for the board’s built-in FTDI. If you do not know which one this is, you can find out by going into Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT), and look for a “USB Serial Port (COMx)”
e. Upload the sketch: File > Upload to I/O Board
f. Wait for the “Done uploading” message in the bottom blue status bar
4. The LED labeled L near pin 13 should now blink slowly
5. Congratulations! You have successfully uploaded your first sketch to your board.
