Uploading
As the name suggests, the Upload button is used to upload the code to the compiler. Once you click this button, the code will be compiled by the compiler and will run provided there are no errors in the code. It is necessary to connect your board to the screen so that results can be seen on the screen therefore, this button is very important.
Note that if the connection on your board is wrong or port numbers are marked incorrectly, the code will not run and will not give appropriate results. Therefore, ensure proper connection between the board and ports. These connections can be made using USB wires which can easily access your computer
Before uploading the code make sure that you reset the board so that any previous action is removed and new connections can be made. With the advancement of arduinos, many boards can provide the option to reset automatically if it’s not available then you’ll have to press the RESET button.
The result after clicking the upload button is a blink of the Tx and Rx LED only if the connections are right. Incase of failure, a prompt will appear indicating the error message on the screen.
If the uploading is failed, it will display the message in the error window. Note that the LED will blink on pin number 13.
Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) v1
Arduino devices are the new face of electronics engineering. The ability of Arduino to program electronic devices and integrate them into larger applications makes Arduino the most common choice of engineers in today’s world. To work with Arduino, it is necessary to be aware of the construction of Arduino and the basic libraries that are used to work with Arduino.
In this article, we will study about Arduino Integrated Development Environment which provides an interface for programming and setting up the Arduino. We will discuss what is an Arduino IDE, and what it looks like. We will also discuss the features available in Arduino IDE and what are the different buttons used. It is advised to go through the article carefully and refer to the FAQs section in case of any doubts.
