Selecting an Arduino Uno
For Duemilanove Arduino boards with an ATmega328 (check the text on the chip on the board),
select Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATmega328. Previously, Arduino boards came with
an ATmega168; for those, select Arduino Diecimila, Duemilanove, or Nano w/ ATmega168.
(Details of the board menu entries are available
on the environment page .)
7 | Select your serial port
Select the serial device of the Arduino board from the Tools | Serial Port menu. This is likely to
be COM3 or higher (COM1and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To find out,
you can disconnect your Arduino board and re-open the menu; the entry that disappears should be
the Arduino board. Reconnect the board and select that serial port.
8 | Upload the program
Now, simply click the "Upload" button in the environment. Wait a few seconds - you should see
the RX and TX leds on the board flashing. If the upload is successful, the message "Done
uploading." will appear in the status bar. (Note: If you have an Arduino Mini, NG, or other board,
you'll need to physically present the reset button on the board immediately before pressing the
upload button.)
A few seconds after the upload finishes, you should see the pin 13 (L) LED on the board start to
blink (in orange). If it does, congratulations! You've gotten Arduino up-and-running.
If you have problems, please see the
troubleshooting suggestions .
