Welcome to ARDUINO! Before you start controlling around the world, you’ll need to set up software to program your motherboard, Arduino software (IDE) allows you to write programs and upload them to the development board. In the Arduino software page, you will find two options: some students are using Apple system or other systems, here first to supplement the Use of Arduino under Apple. I hope I can give you effective help

If you have a reliable Internet connection, use an online IDE (Arduino Web editor). It will allow you to save sketches in the cloud so they can be used and backed up from any device.

2. You will always have the latest version of the IDE, without having to install updated or community-generated libraries. If you want to work offline, you should use the latest version of the desktop IDE.

Code online in the Arduino Web editor

To use an online IDE, simply follow the instructions below. Keep in mind that the development board can be used directly in the Web editor without installing anything.

Install the Arduino desktop IDE

To get step-by-step instructions, select one of the following links depending on your operating system. Windows Mac OS X Linux Portable IDE (Windows and Linux) for personal and educational ChromeOS (Arduino create Chrome apps) Select your motherboard from the list on the right, To learn how to get started and how to use it on the Desktop IDE.

Learning the Arduino

Read an introduction to what you are for Arduino and why you want to use it. What is Arduino software (IDE) and how do I change the default language? Libraries: Use and install the Arduino library. Core: Do you need to add a new board to the Arduino software? Install and manage relevant cores. Troubleshooting: Suggestions on if things don’t do anything “will not work. For a complete list of guides, visit the Basics section, where you’ll find in-depth knowledge of the principles and technologies behind the Arduino platform. Making the Arduino starter kit project and reading the book “Getting Started with Arduino” is a great way to start learning and tinkering with coding and electronics.

General care – Cleaning boards

Now that you know how to get started with the Arduino development board, here are some basic tips for caring for Arduino in the future:

Despite working on projects through dinner, try to avoid eating and drinking while using the Arduino board — it doesn’t like to get wet, and there’s nothing worse than crumbs on your head! If the Arduino has been running a project for the past few months and has collected a lot of dust, try using any off-the-shelf Air Duster- these are ideal for removing dust and debris from the board surface and hard-to-reach areas such as between ports and pins. Please do your best to avoid splashing on the board. However, if an accident does occur, if you accidentally spill something sticky on the board and are lucky enough to still work, then we recommend that you use an IPA (isopropyl alcohol) rag to safely remove grease, dirt and dust from the board. Note: Before using IPA wipes, make sure your development board is disconnected from your computer or battery. Open source and Arduino are all about sharing ideas, content, software and even hardware. Given these challenging times with COVID-19, if you plan to share your Arduino development board with others, such as students in a classroom, we recommend that you disinfect your development board with a 222nm UV sterilizing lamp — just one safe to use cabinet is included. Finally, wash your hands. Now that you know how to get started with the Arduino development board, here are some basic tips for caring for Arduino in the future:
