Quick start with Arduino Uno

To connect Arduino Uno to PC computer we need following parts:

- Printer's USB cable
- Arduino chip with board
- Proper power supply

Arduino board needs DC power supply in range from 9 to 12V, 500mA to 1A, which is then regulated down to 5v and 3.3v on board. It is said that even voltages up to 20VDC are safe for voltage regulation. I have used 12 V,1A.

For Tx/Rx communication, use printer type usb cable. With use of usb cable, no need to set serial port parameters. To make communication with chip you can use Arduino IDE from official website. Last version/s is/are working on Windows 10 only.

For use with Windows 8.1 install some of previous versions. I used Arduino IDE 1.65.
To try out and play with chip go to Open (arrow) and select some of prefilled source codes.
