http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. The following steps are based on the current
Arduino 1.0.5 released version for Windows.
•
Download the Zip file of Arduino software (
arduino-1.0.5-windows.zip
), and
save it to your computer’s Desktop or a location of your choice.
•
Unzip the file using 7-Zip or other archive software (Figure 2.8). The unzipped
files will appear in a folder named “
arduino-1.0.5
”.
