5. In the

Tools > Port

menu, select the port for the device. On Windows you can determine what COM

port the device is assigned to by looking at the “Ports (COM & LPT)” section of the Device Manager. On
Linux, the port name will begin with “/dev/ttyACM”. On Mac OS X, the port name will begin with “/dev/
tty.usbmodem”.

6. Open up the “Blink” Arduino example, which can be found under

File > Examples > 01.Basics >

Blink

. The code in this example will blink the yellow LED. When you select the Blink example, a new

Arduino IDE window will open up. It is OK to close the first window.

Selecting the Blink example in the Arduino IDE.

7. Press the “Upload” button to compile the sketch and upload it to the device. If everything goes correctly,
you will see the message “Done uploading” appear near the bottom of the window. If you are using
Windows and you have not previously programmed an A-Star device on this USB port, then Windows
might take several seconds to recognize the A-Star bootloader. The bootloader times out after 8 seconds
and goes back to running the sketch, so the upload might fail if Windows does not recognize it quickly
