The Arduino IDE software needs to know the serial port number that Windows has just allocated to it The computer communicates with the Arduino board via a special serial port chip built into the Arduino board. Click Finish to complete the installation Windows should now have found the Arduino drivers. This will be in a subfolder called drivers in your arduino directoryĪfter selecting Next you may get a message like the one shown right. Now choose the location that the Arduino drivers are stored in. Select the Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) option and click Next You will get an error similar to the one right. Windows will fail to detect the device as it doesn't know where the drivers are stored. Next, plug in your Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable and wait while Windows detects the new device. You will end up with a directory like arduino-0021 or similar The images and description is based on installation under Windows XP, but the process should be similar for Vista and Windows 7.įirst we need to get the latest version of the Arduino software this can be downloaded from the Arduino website hereĭownload the Arduino software and unzip all the files into c:\program files This tutorial describes the installation of the Arduino IDE Development software and drivers for the Windows Operating System.

Click on the button Continue Anyway.Īfter a few moments, a window will tell you the wizard has finished installing software for Arduino Leonardo. You will receive a notification that the board has not passed Windows Logo testing. Select the drivers folder an click OK, then click Next. Another dialog appears: navigate to the folder with the Arduino software that you just downloaded. Right click and choose Update driver.Īt the next screen, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", and click Next.Ĭlick the Browse. If the installer does not launch automatically, navigate to the Windows Device Manager (Start>Control Panel>Hardware) and find the Arduino Leonardo listing. Plug in your board and wait for Windows to begin its driver installation process. In the following instruction only the Leonardo board will be mentioned, but the same procedure is valid for all the Arduino boards. They are valid also for Windows XP, with small differences in the dialog windows. The following instructions are for Windows 7, Vista and 10.
