Almost all operating systems come with a text editor preinstalled (for
example,
Windows
comes with
Notepad
,
Linux
Ubuntu
comes with
Gedit
,
Linux
Raspbian
comes with
Leafpad
, etc.). All of these text
editors are perfectly fine for the purpose of the eBook.
Next thing is to check if your PC can detect an Atmega328p board. Open
freshly installed Arduino IDE, and go to:
Tools > Board > {your board name here}
{your board name here}
should be the
Arduino/Genuino Uno
, as it can
be seen on the following image:
The port to which the Atmega328p board is connected has to be selected.
Go to:
Tools > Port > {port name goes here}
and when the Atmega328p board is connected to the USB port, the port
name can be seen in the drop-down menu on the previous image.
