Download the Arduino Desktop IDE The Arduino IDE is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment. This means that you can run it on every Operating System. To download the Arduino IDE visit the and choose the right IDE according to your Operating System. Install the Arduino IDE Once you have downloaded the IDE, follow the instructions on how to install it based on your Operating System (,,, or ). Run the IDE If this is the first time you run the Desktop IDE, you should see a tab (called sketch) filled with the two basic Arduino functions: the setup() and loop(). IDE preferences By clicking on File->Preferences or using the shortcut CTRL+Comma you can edit your IDE preferences. In this window you can do very important things like: • Change the language of the application • Change your sketchbook location: the default path where your sketches (Arduino programs) are saved; • Add additional third party boards to your IDE: the Arduino IDE has a built-in function called Boards Manager (explained later on) that allows you to use third party boards in the Arduino IDE.

Visual Studio is also the best C++ IDE for Windows operating system. The Express version is free of cost and is best suited for one person but if there is a group project involved then one has to go for Pro Version for which you have to pay a nominal sum.

The Arduino Boards Manager If you want to install the Arduino SAMD core you simply have to click on Install when selecting a menu item. Once the installing procedure is complete, you will see the new boards included in the Tools -> Board menu. In the Arduino IDE Preferences, is it possible to add third party boards by also adding a simple URL. An example of how to add a non-Arduino board can be the To install it follow the instruction at the link. Library Manager Arduino is a community-based platform, this means that people working with the platform very often share their code and contribute libraries.

An Arduino Library allows you to easily use modules, sensors and extra hardware without too much effort, since all the hard work to understand the code is already embedded in the library and only the functions are exposed to you. These functions are called methods or APIs. A library usually comes with a list of examples to practically show what you can do with this package. An example can be the. The Arduino Wifi 101 library is not shipped within the Arduino IDE installation so you need to manually add it.

Open the Sketch->Libraries->Manage Libraries menu.
