Explaining and Installing the Arduino IDE
This is a short video where I introduce the idea of the Arduino IDE.
IDE stands for Integrated development Environment, and this program is used to program code that will run on the Arduino microcontroller board, and flash the code to the board.
There are three versions of the program:
Version 1 is a smaller program that can run on older devices.
Version 2 is the current code editor. This is recommended for newer computers
Online Code Editor is a web-based version of the code editor. Additional drivers are required for this.
You will need to install one of these in order to code along with me in future videos, so choose whichever version you need/prefer and be ready to do some physical computing.
