How to Upload and Run Code on an Arduino Board - Getting Started with Arduino

In this video, we go over all the necessary materials and steps you need to get started with working on your Arduino. These steps involve downloading and installing the Arduino IDE, Arduino software, and Arduino drivers, and uploading a simple program onto the Arduino board.

Really appreciate the slow pace yet detailed explanation. Thank you very much!!!

[@monso7185]

Glad I watched this to the end, thanks man. Needed to know that the program would run after being disconnected from the computer or if it needed to be uploaded each time I wanted it ran.

[@IvanTyagi]

helped me a lot for national project

[@howardthomas2223]

I found this so useful. I didn't about the "minimum" sketch (program) either. That looks like something that is good practise when you're done with your Arduino and it needs to be unplugged. I agree with the many other comments, what is covered in this video is missing from so many others. Thank you.

[@atetraxx]

Thanks man. All the other videos assume you know this stuff.

[@rosebud0391]

So helpful! Thank you

[@barrie6765]

Thanks, am about to start this topic today

This is very useful. Thank you.

[@saisamith6268]

Thank you bro you are the best

[@k1llersw0rd80]

so if I have an elegoo uno r3 will these steps be the same? I have to use an elegoo for my SciOly robot tour, we don't have an arduino uno available.

[@Flopperam]

As far as I understand, the elegoo uno and the Arduino are practically the same.

[@simbarashemmutanda4257]

THANKS A LOT

[@thetech4719]

Thanks

I can't even upload the bareminimum :'-( It's telling me the following
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM6": The system cannot find the file specified.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

[@Flopperam]

Can you check in Device Manager if your Arduino board is connected to that COM port? You may have to reinstall drivers.

[@hollyteper3269]

It seems I cant find Arduino IDE 1.8.13 could you help me please? The thing im doing is due tomorrow!

[@Flopperam]

Any version of the IDE should work

[@Ewecnt]

You download to an Arduino. Not upload!

[@Flopperam]

You're right
