1. 1 Arduino Board: Arduino UNO Arduino Programing Environment: Arduino 0022 Download @ http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Softwarehttp://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software.

2. 2 *Download Arduino Software from Arduino.cc and unzip the folder to your computer. A file within the folder called Arduino, allows you to launch the programming environment. *You need to install a driver that comes with Arduino to be able to communicate with the board

3. Setup Arduino- Install the Arduino Board Drivers that come with Arduino Folder You can use device manager to install the driver by manually giving the address of this folder

4. Setup Arduino- Connect Arduino to Computer via USB Port using USB Cable Let the System Find the New Hardware To Computer USB Port

5. Setup Arduino- Setting The Appropriate Arduino Port Run Arduino, On Arduino Environment go to Tools>Board Check the appropriate Board

6. Setup Arduino- Setting The Appropriate Arduino Port Run Arduino, On Arduino Environment go to Tools>Serial Ports Check the Port that you just found out is dedicated to USB Serial

7. Setup Arduino- Making Your First Circuit Connect an LED to Pin 13 and Ground, Short leg to ground and long leg to Pin 13 To Computer USB Port

8. Write and Compile and Uploade your First Arduino Code void setup(){ pinMode(13,OUTPUT); } void loop(){ digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); } Setup Arduino- Writing Your First Arduino Code
