First and foremost, we can’t get started without the star of the show: Arduino! • If you haven’t got one yet, it’s time to purchase it. • In this course, I recommend an all-in-one starter kit from Amazon that includes not just Arduino but all the essential components for electronics projects. • Throughout the lessons, I’ll be basing my explanations on the items included in this kit. • If you prefer to choose your components individually, you can also purchase them from Amazon, Switch Science, or Akizuki Denshi, among other online shops. • -Table of Contents • 0:00 What's Arduino IDE • 1:33 How to install Arduino IDE • 2:54 Setting for Arduino IDE • -Related Link • [Arduino Basics] 1.

An IDE, or Integrated Development Environment, is software that bundles together all the essential tools for software development, such as program creation, writing, and testing. Specifically, these tasks are called coding, compiling, and debugging. When it comes to a microcontroller, which is the brain of the board, it initially has an empty state, so we need to write content into its “brain.” This process is called coding. Since microcontrollers can only read digital signals of 1s and 0s (known as machine language), we need to convert the code we write into machine language. This conversion process is called compiling. While this conversion can be quite cumbersome if done manually, the IDE handles it automatically with just a click. The IDE also comes with debugging features to check the content of the program and verify that the microcontroller is working correctly. • To install the Arduino IDE on Windows, go to the search bar and type Arduino to find the Arduino website. Click on the “Software” tab at the top and select the link that matches your OS. I’m using Windows 10, so I’ll choose this option. A donation screen may appear, but if you don’t want to donate, click on “JUST DOWNLOAD.” Save the file, and once the download is complete, click to open it. The installation screen will appear. Click “Agree” and proceed with the default settings by pressing “Next.” Choose the installation folder (the default is fine), then click “Install.” When the installation is complete, press the “Close” button to finish. • For Mac users, go to the Arduino website in a similar way. Click on the “Software” tab and select “Mac OS.” Click on “JUST DOWNLOAD” to start downloading a zip file. If a strange screen appears, it’s just a survey—ignore it. After clicking the zip file, it will extract the Arduino software. Move the software to the Applications folder to complete the installation. • Now, let’s open the Arduino software. Although I’m explaining using Windows for this lesson, the Arduino IDE interface and operations are exactly the same on Mac, so there’s no need to worry about differences in OS. The Arduino IDE is divided into four main sections: the menu bar, toolbar, program window, and console window. The main section you’ll use is this large area where you’ll enter your programs. • Next, let’s set up some initial environment settings. From the menu bar, go to File → Preferences and check “Display line numbers.” If you find the text too small, try increasing the number under “Editor font size” to make it easier to read. This should make the screen clearer. • In this session, we covered the purpose of the Arduino IDE and how to install it. In the next session, we’ll finally start using Arduino and the IDE to get hands-on with the real thing!
