1. Arduino Leonardo Setup
CTY SAR FCPS
Shawn Lupoli, Elliot Tan

2. Hardware Arduino Leonardo Boards
Microcontroller board based on ATmega32u4
20 digital input/output pins
Built-in Micro USB connection
Powered via USB connection OR with external power supply

3. Hardware Arduino Uno Boards Microcontroller board based on ATmega32u4
20 digital input/output pins
Built-in Micro USB connection
Powered via USB connection OR with external power supply

4. Hardware
EITHER WILL WORK!!! But in programming, (within the IDE), pick the right board!!

5. Two ways to access the IDE!!
As of 1/1/17
Web/cloud based
Still has issues (as of 2/20/17), but not bad
Normal download
Which ever way you want is up to you!!

6. Downloading Software I swear this changes every week.
If anything on the next page (about installing is critically wrong, let us know)

7. Downloading Software Arduino IDE (v 1.0.5)
Download from:
Find “Arduino IDE”
Select “WINDOWS ZIP” and install
Open arduino.exe, and then select “Extract All”
Extract to the D: drive so that Arduino.exe will not be wiped during computer shut down
After extraction of arduino.exe, install the USB drivers
arduino r2 -> drivers - > run “dpinst-amd64.exe”

8. Interacting with IDE How to communicate with hardware? IDE Contains
With the Arduino IDE
IDE Contains
Text editor
Message area
Text console
Toolbar with buttons for common functions (e.g. Serial Monitor)
Series of menus

9. Sketches Sketches are programming files written for Arduino
Saved with file extension .ino
Console displays error messages and other information
Toolbar buttons allow compiling, uploading, creating, opening and saving of sketches
Can also open Serial Monitor, which can be used for debugging

10. Uploading to Arduino Board
Plug in Arduino and open Arduino IDE
Select Tools  Board  Arduino Leonardo OR UNO
Select Tools  Port  COM #
To Check COM #, go to Device Manager  Ports (COM & LPT)
Select Files  Example  01. Basics  Blink
Select Sketch  Verify/Compile Code
Upload Blink to Arduino (Check Console)
On the board, RX and TX LEDs start blinking
Successful upload: L LED blinks every second

11. Troubleshooting Make sure to press the “Upload” button
If COM port does not appear  unplug cable and try again
If Upload fails  press reset button when “Uploading…” appears
