PROGRAMMING ARDUINO FOR MAC SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD

Finally, navigate to and select the Uno’s driver file, named “ArduinoUNO.inf”, located in the “Drivers” folder of the Arduino Software download (not the “FTDI USB Drivers” sub-directory).

Next, choose the “Browse my computer for Driver software” option.

Right click on the “Arduino UNO (COMxx)” or “Unknown Device” port and choose the “Update Driver Software” option.

If there is no COM & LPT section, look under ‘Other Devices’ for ‘Unknown Device’ You should see an open port named “Arduino UNO (COMxx)”.

Once the System window is up, open the Device Manager.

While in the Control Panel, navigate to System and Security.

Click on the Start Menu, and open up the Control Panel.

After a few moments, the process will fail, despite its best efforts.

Plug in your board and wait for Windows to begin it’s driver installation process.

Installing the Drivers for the Arduino Uno (from )

Type/paste in the following commands: bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON.

Right click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator” from the buttons on the bottom of your screen.

To permanently disable driver signing (recommended, but has some minor security implications):

When your computer restarts, select ‘Disable driver signature enforcement‘ from the list.

Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.

From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).

This issue has been addressed in newer releases of the Arduino IDE, but if you run into issues, you can try this fix first.įor a nice, step-by-step tutorial with pictures click here, otherwise the steps are outlined below. Some older versions of Arduino Uno come with unsigned drivers, so in order to use your Uno, you’ll have to tell Windows to disable driver signing. Windows 8 comes with a nice little security ‘feature’ that ‘protects’ you from unsigned driver installation.

PROGRAMMING ARDUINO FOR MAC INSTALL

If you’re running Windows 7, Vista, or XP, you’ll need to install some drivers, so head to the Windows 7, Vista, and XP section down below. If you’re running Windows 8, you’ll need to disable driver signing, so go see the Windows 8 section.

( this diagram shows the placement of the power LED on the UNO). You should see the an LED labed ‘ON’ light up.

Power up your Arduino by connecting your Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable (or FTDI connector if you’re using an Arduino pro).

The file structure is important so don’t be moving any files around unless you really know what you’re doing.

When the download is finished, un-zip it and open up the Arduino folder to confirm that yes, there are indeed some files and sub-folders inside.

Go to the Arduino download page and download the latest version of the Arduino software for Windows.
