  1. living with the lab David Hall Louisiana Tech University dhall@latech.edu Getting your Arduino to Work: Microsoft Windows Install Arduino programming environment Install Arduino Uno driver Make sure you can download a program (a “sketch”) from your computer to your Arduino

  2. living with the lab 1. install Arduino IDE IDE = Integrated Development Environment • download the installation file from the following website: • arduino.cc/en/Main/Software • save the downloaded file to a folder on your computer

  3. living with the lab • find the file that you downloaded on your computer • copy this file to the hard drive location where you want to install the Arduino software • double click on Compressed file to view Arduino-related files

  4. living with the lab • navigate to this folder • double click on the arduino application • click on “Extract all” • this will take a few minutes • when finished, plug in your Arduino with the USB cable

  5. living with the lab 2. install driver click on “Hardware and Sound”

  6. living with the lab click on “Device Manager”

  7. living with the lab • computer is not recognizing your Arduino • double click on the “Unknown device”

  8. living with the lab click on “Update Driver”

  9. living with the lab click on “Browse my computer for driver software”

  10. living with the lab browse for the folder where you extracted the Arduino software NOTE:If you are using Windows 8 and have a problem after clicking “Next,” then go to slide 21

  11. living with the lab select folder where Arduino software was extracted . . . Windows will automatically search subdirectories

  12. living with the lab you will need to “Install this driver software anyway” if you want to install Arduino

  13. living with the lab you should get a message like this one if everything goes OK

  14. living with the lab notice that your Arduino is now recognized

  15. living with the lab 3. make sure everything works • double click this icon to run the Arduino software • right click and pin to your taskbar for a convenient shortcut

  16. living with the lab • click Tools > Board (Arduino Uno should be highlighted)

  17. living with the lab • click Tools > Serial Port • click in the box beside the COM port if a checkmark is not present (this will make a checkmark appear if one was not there already) • the checkmark means that your computer sees your Arduino • if no checkmark appears, go back to Device Manager to see what’s up

  18. living with the lab • click File > Examples > Basics > Blink • this will bring up a simple program on your computer screen

  19. living with the lab • clicking “upload” icon sends program to your Arduino

  20. living with the lab • the “TX” and “RX” LEDs will flash as the program is downloaded to the Arduino • you will see the LED labeled “L” start blinking • this means that it works!!! • also watch your computer screen to see the status • if there’s a problem, it will show up here

  21. living with the lab windows 8 issue: when installing the drivers, you may experience the error below A solution to this problem is available at http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=94651.15

  22. living with the lab complete the procedure below: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=94651.15 1. Windows Key + R2. Enter shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 003. Click the "OK" button4. System will restart to a "Choose an option" screen5. Select "Troubleshoot" from "Choose an option" screen6. Select "Advanced options" from "Troubleshoot" screen7. Select "Startup Settings" from "Advanced options" screen8. Click "Restart" button9. System will restart to "Advanced Boot Options" screen10. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"11. Once the system starts, install the Arduino drivers as you would on Windows 7 after your computer restarts, return to slide 5 and continue the installation Another method is presented in this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdE72XUYC7k
