Hi all, I am new to the world of Ardiuno and unfortunately am having trouble from the getgo.
I have a 32 bit PC and am using windows 7. When I plug the USB from the Uno R3 into the computer, I hear a boo boo boop, a green light comes on and an orange light blinks about every second on the Uno. No icon for new hardware or anything like that shows up on the computer. I do have an internet connection.
IDK what other info might be pertinent.
Any ideas what the issue might be?
Joe
Ru you new to Arduino???
First read installation process of arduino.
If it is New board By default arduino loaded with blink program. Because of which LED light goes on & off
To check device is connected or not.Just goto device manage by clicking right click on my computer
check board being detected in port section. If the port highlighted with yellow it means arduino driver not installed.so you need to install manually
just goto disk where you downloaded arduino IDE. chose the driver folder when it ask for path & instal the driver.once driver installed automatically yellow color turns off.
Yes, new to Arduino.
I used this tutorial to try and get this Uno R3 fired up. Arduino Tutorial - Learn electronics and microcontrollers using Arduino!
Is the blink program the driver? In which case lesson 0 from the link I posted can be skipped?
IDE is not the same thing as driver, is that right?
After work tonight, I'll try some more.
Thank you AMPS.
Is the blink program the driver?
No. Blink program is loaded in your new UNO and it cause L blinking in second interval.
Driver is a code for Windows to be able work with device as UNO.
IDE is not the same thing as driver, is that right?
Right.
Did you download Arduino IDE (software for PC) from here http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software ?
If yes, then go to its folder and inside is folder with drivers named drivers. Run appropriate exe to instal a driver. You have to have administrators rights to do this.
"Did you download Arduino IDE (software for PC) from here http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software ?"
I went there and saw downloads for Arduino 1.0.6 and Arduino 1.5.8 beta with support for YUN and DUE, there was something for Galileo and there was other software.
No mention of Arduino UNO. What is the correct download for UNO R3?
Arduino 1.0.6
Thanks Budvar10, I got it downloaded.
I'm glad to help you.
