⭐ How to setup or install Arduino IDE 23/12/2020

Installing Arduino should be quite straightforward - just like how you download and install other softwares with a setup installer file.

Follow the steps below!

1. Connect your Arduino board with the USB cable.

2. Go to Tools > Ports > Select COM (number) for your board

3. Press Upload Button (or press Ctrl+U)

4. If you see Done Uploading, means your board can connect and the software installed correctly! 👍

💡 Trouble uploading after a few tries? See my troubleshooting guide for uploading error : ⭐ ERROR: Why won't Arduino Uno Code Upload In IDE (for Windows)

CH341SER installer for Macbook Users

• Unfortunately, I don't own a Macbook to try it out myself. But this installer should work: http://www.wch.cn/downloads/CH341SER_MAC_ZIP.html (remember to extract first!)

• I have heard before that maybe some older Macbooks versions may need a different installer (eg: Yosemite, Snow Leopard, maybe have a different Installer version).

• Some of my students who used Macbook mentioned that the newer Macbooks may already have the CH341SER driver in-built.

• Trial-and-error if needed and google based on your Macbook version if you faced problems with the driver installation.

Using online editor

• Apart from its offline version, you can also use the online web editor.
  Just make sure your Internet is steady enough!
