Install Arduino IDE
Get an Arduino board and USB cable
In this tutorial, we assume you're using Makerduino.
Makerduino uses the same Serial-to-USB chip as
Arduino Duemilanove, and the same bootloader
as Arduino UNO. You also need a standard USB cable
(A plug to B plug): the kind you would connect to a
USB printer, for example.

Download the Arduino environment

Get the latest version from the download page.
When the download finishes, unzip the downloaded file.
Make sure to preserve the folder structure.
Double-click the folder to open it.
There should be a few files and sub-folders inside.

Connect the board

Connect the Arduino board to your computer using the USB cable.
The green power LED (labelled ON) should go on.
Install the drivers
When you connect the board, Windows should initiate the driver installation process (if you haven't used the
3

www.makerstudio.cc
computer with an Arduino board before).
On Windows 7/8, the driver should be automatically downloaded and installed. If it does not work for
you, it can also be installed manually:
When asked Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software? Select No, not this
time. Click next.
Select Install from a list or specified location (Advanced) and click next.
Make sure that Search for the best driver in these locations is checked; uncheck Search re movable
media; check Include this location in the search and browse to the drivers/FTDI USB Drivers
directory of the Arduino distribution. Click next.
The wizard will search for the driver and then tell you that a "USB Serial Converter" was found. Click
finish.
The new hardware wizard will appear again. Go through the same steps and select the same options and
location to search. This time, a "USB Serial Port" will be found.
You can check that the drivers have been installed by opening the Windows Device Mananger (in the
Hardware tab of System control panel). Look for a "USB Serial Port" in the Ports section; that's the
Arduino board.

Download and Install Arduino Code Library for the Kit

Open the Google Drive Share link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8y
XrwauCsxXRUREYmdYcWJKUjg/edit?usp=sharing
Download the zip file ArduinoDeluxeKit.zip.
Unzip it directly to the path of xxx\arduino-1.0.x\libraries
as the right picture.
