Now that we have installed the Arduino IDE, let's move on to the next secion and run an
example test using the Arduino development plaform.
Programming the Arduino using the
Raspberry Pi
We will introduce ourselves to the Arduino IDE with an LED blinking example.
Prepare for lift off
There are several examples for the Arduino and it takes less than a minute to execute the
irst program. Let's get started with the tradiional LED blinking example. The LED blinking
example can be found at

1. We get started by idenifying the Arduino's serial port enumerated on the
Raspberry Pi.
2.
The serial port is ideniied from

Serial Port
. Usually there is only one serial
port as shown in the following screenshot. If there is more than one serial port
device connected, it is recommended that you proceed with cauion.
3.
We can program the Arduino by clicking on the
Upload
buton.

If the Arduino is connected and the serial port was correctly ideniied, the program should
be uploaded successfully.
