7 | Select your board
You'll need to select the entry in the
Tools > Board
menu that corresponds to your Arduino.
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.)
8 | Select your serial port
Select the serial device of the Arduino board from the Tools | Serial Port menu. This is likely to be
COM3

COM1
and
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.
9 | 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
