To be able to program with your Arduino board, you must first install the Windows drivers. We show you how it works.
Windows: Install Arduino software
With the help of the open source IDE software (integrated development environment), you can load your sketches onto your Arduino microcontroller.
- Download the installation file of the Arduino IDE and start the installation.
Driver installation under Windows
Connect your Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable. Windows starts a driver installation, which usually fails. If so, do the following:
- Click on the start button and look for the "Device Manager".
- To find your Arduino board, press the small triangle in front of the "Connections (COM & LPT)" item.
- Right click on your Arduino and select the "Update Driver Software" option.
- Press "Search for driver software on the computer" and navigate to the path: "C / Programs / Arduino / drivers". Confirm the driver installation and follow the next steps. The driver is now successfully installed.
Windows: Configure the Arduino IDE
In order for the sketches to be loaded onto your Arduino board using the software, you need to select the right board and port:
- To do this, click on "Tools" in the Arduino IDE and select your Arduino controller under Board.
- Repeat this step for the port that the Arduino board uses.
