Installing Arduino IDE
When getting this control board, we need to install Arduino IDE Enter the website https://www.arduino.cc/, click and
Select the version you want to download, the latest version could be downloaded.
Alternatively, you could select previous release. In this project, we use 1.8.12 version.
Click to download an installer of Arduino 1.8.12 version,which needs to be installed manually. When you tap ,a zip file of Arduino 1.8.12 version will be directly downloaded, and you only need to unzip it to finish installation.
Click icon to download Arduino IDE.
Download CH340 driver:

Installing the Driver
The driver will be installed after downloading Arduino IDE.
If your system is Windows 10, the computer will automatically install driver.
For other systems, like Windows7, we need to install driver manually.
The USB to serial chip of control board is CH340G, therefore, we will install the driver(usb_ch341_3.1.2009.06) for it.
Connect control board to computer with USB cable.
Click Computer----- Properties----- Device Manager, as shown below:
Then right-click on the device and select the top menu option (Update Driver Software...) shown as the figure below.
Then it will be prompted to either “Search Automatically forupdated driversoftware” or “Browse my computer for driver software”. Shown as below. In this page, select “Browse my computer for driver software”.
After that, select the option to browseand navigate to the “drivers” folder of usb-ch341 installation.
Once the software has been installed, you will get a confirmation message. Installation completed, click “Close”.
Up to now, the driver is installed well. Then you can right click “Computer” —>“Properties”—>“Device manager”, you should see the device as the figure shown below.
Arduino IDE Setting
To avoid the errors when uploading the program to the board, you need to select the correct Arduino board that matches the board connected to your computer. Then come back to the Arduino software, you should click Tools→Board, select the board. (as shown below)
Then select the correct COM port (you can see the corresponding COM port after the driver is successfully installed)
Before uploading the program to the board, let’s demonstrate the function of each symbol in the Arduino IDE toolbar.
A- Used to verify whether there is any compiling mistakes or not. B- Used to upload the sketch to your Arduino board. C- Used to create shortcut window of a new sketch. D- Used to directly open an example sketch. E- Used to save the sketch. F- Used to send the serial data received from board to the serial monitor.
Start your first program
Open the file to select Example, choose BLINK from BASIC, as shown below:
Set board and COM port, the corresponding board and COM port are shown on the lower right of IDE.
Click to start compiling the program, check errors.
Click to upload the program, upload successfully.
Upload the program successfully, the onboard LED lights on for 1s, lights off for 1s. Congratulation, you finish the first program.
