In this step, you will:
-Use your development environment and upload the blink sketch to your device.
-Observe that LED on the device is blinking.
Step 3 - Test the Development Environment
In order to ensure that your development environment and hardware setup are correct, you are going to use the example blink sketch supplied by Arduino IDE.
1
Please select Blink example sketch supplied by Arduino IDE.
2
Please verify that the source code of the sketch loaded onto IDE.
3
Please select upload by clicking on the arrow icon, or alternatively, you can use ctrl+U for sketches to:
1)Compile
2)Upload to Device
3)And run
4
Please observe that the compilation of the sketch has started.
5
The Done Compiling message indicates that compilation of the sketch finished without any problems.
6
When you saw the message CPU reset, It means that your sketch had been uploaded and the device had started to run. Because when a sketch loads into memory, it automatically starts to run.
7
Please observe that the LED started to blink. It shows that your IDE and device are working together without any issues.
As a result of this step, you ensure that your development environment is setup properly and working with your device, which is connected via the USB port of your computer.
