We will introduce ourselves to the Arduino IDE with an LED blinking example.
There are several examples for the Arduino and it takes less than a minute to execute the first program. Let's get started with the traditional LED blinking example. The LED blinking example can be found at File | Examples | 01
.
Basics | Blink.
We get started by identifying the Arduino's serial port enumerated on the Raspberry Pi.
The serial port is identified from Tools | Serial Port. Usually there is only one serial port as shown in the following screenshot. If there is more than one serial port device connected, it is recommended that you proceed with caution.
We can program the Arduino by clicking on the Upload button.
