Visit the Arduino software page and download the latest Arduino IDE version for your OS.
You need to install drivers to program the Arduino. Drivers convert data sent through the USB port into serial signals that the Arduino can understand.
- Drivers (in case they are not installed by default)
- Check the module example to check extra dependencies
Launch the Arduino application. It will open to the template of a new, empty sketch. Here's what it looks like.
This workshop uses materials and examples that are based on the components included in the project starter kit.
