The interface of Arduino software is as follows:
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment - or Arduino Software (IDE) - contains a text
editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common
functions and a series of menus. It connects to the Arduino and Genuino hardware to upload
programs and communicate with them.
Verify
: Checks your code for errors when compiling it.
Upload
: Compiles your code and uploads it to the configured board.
Before uploading your sketch, you need to select the correct items from the Tools > Board and
Tools > Port menus. The boards are described below. On the Mac OS X, the serial port is probably
something like /dev/tty.usbmodem241 (for an Uno or Mega2560 or Leonardo) or
/dev/tty.usbserial-1B1 (for a Duemilanove or earlier USB board), or /dev/tty.USA19QW1b1P1.1
(for a serial board connected with a Keyspan USB-to-Serial adapter). On Windows, it's probably
COM1 or COM2 (for a serial board) or COM4, COM5, COM7, or higher (for a USB board) - to find
out, you look for USB serial device in the ports section of the Windows Device Manager. On Linux,
it should be /dev/ttyACMx , /dev/ttyUSBx or similar.
Once you've selected the correct serial port and board, press the upload button in the toolbar or
select the Upload item from the Sketch menu. Current Arduino boards will reset automatically
and begin the upload. With older boards (pre-Diecimila) that lack auto-reset, you'll need to press
the reset button on the board just before starting the upload. On most boards, you'll see the RX
and TX LEDs blink as the sketch is uploaded. The Arduino Software (IDE) will display a message
when the upload is completed, or show an error.
