systems

      First specify the type of operating system on your computer. Using any browser, enter the following in the address bar:

      Connect the Arduino Uno board to the computer use the USB cable included in the kit, connect the Arduino board to one of the USB 2.0 connectors of your computer.

      3.2. Installing drivers

      Depending on which operating system is installed on your computer, you need to choose the way to install the driver.

      Below are the links and installation methods for the Arduino Uno board.

      *You should pay very careful attention to the selection and installation of drivers.

      Installation for Windows

      Follow the link below to access the installation instructions on a Windows computer.

      Installation for Macintosh OS X

      There is no need to install additional drivers for Mac OS, but you can visit the «quick start» page.

      Arduino IDE Program Interface:

      This is how the Arduino IDE programming environment running on your computer looks like. We are starting to get acquainted with its interface. Now we will not touch the code, but only tell you about the purpose of the function keys in the program menu.

      The following shows the most important commands used in new projects, such as check, upload, new, open, save, serial monitor port, sketch name, code drop and message area. Sketches of new projects are checked if loaded correctly. After that, the scheme should work. If the sketch and the diagram are incorrect, then the malfunction is eliminated. After all, the scheme should work.

      4.1. Electrical circuit

      An electrical circuit is an unbroken path along which an electric current can flow from the starting point to the end point, for example, from plus to minus. Electrical circuits can contain resistors, diodes, transistors, motors, and more. The scheme can contain a huge number of such elements.

      Fig.4.1. Electrical circuit

      Circuits are generally divided into three categories: analog circuits, digital circuits, and mixed-signal circuits. In this guide, you will explore all three sets of circuits.
