How to use Arduino IDE

This article will explain in detail how to use Arduino IDE for you. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Get to know ArduinoIDE

Except for the startup mode, the other ways of using Arduino IDE are basically the same under Windows and Linux platforms. Here is a brief introduction to the common operations.

Start Arduino IDE

(1) under the Windows operating system, if you installed Arduino IDE using the installation wizard and chose to create a shortcut on the desktop, you only need to find the icon on the desktop and double-click to start it.

(2) if you install Arduino IDE in the form of a compressed package, you only need to go to the extracted directory (1.6.0 version is arduino-1.6.0), and double-click the arduino.exe file to execute it. If you want to start from the desktop shortcut like the installation wizard, you can right-click on the arduino.exe file and select "send to"-> "Desktop Shortcut" command from the pop-up menu to create a shortcut to Arduino IDE on the desktop.

Under the Windows operating system, Arduino IDE runs as shown in the figure.

The effect of Arduino IDE on Windows and Linux platform

(3) under Linux operating system, it can only be installed in the form of compressed package. The way to run Arduino IDE is to go to the installation directory of the software and execute the arduino file. Because Arduino IDE needs to use a serial device, it needs to be executed with superuser privileges. In most Linux distributions, you can do this by adding sudo before the command you execute:

Arduino-1.6.0$ sudo. / arduino
