Uploading your first Dummy Program on Arduino
Now, with everything setup, plug in your Arduino Board. If the drivers have been installed successfully, the PC should detect the board. Under the "Tools" option in the IDE, select the "Board" option and from the sub menu, select Arduino UNO as the board. Again, select "Port" option from the "Tools" menu and select the com port that is present there. In case of multiple com ports, you will need to check in the Device manager to which port the arduino is attached to.
Now, Simply Click on "New" under the "File" menu to open a new sketch. Alternatively, click on the "New" button below the toolbar. Don't worry about writing anything in your sketch. Let's first upload the blank sketch and check if the upload is successful or not. You can follow the video below to see a video guide for uploading the program.
When you click on Upload, first an operation called compiling takes place. Compiling basically checks for any errors in the program and also notifies you at the bottom in case any errors are present. Upon successful compilation, the program then starts uploading onto the board attached which is followed with successful upload.
