Getting started with Arduino UNO

Procedure for Getting started with Arduino UNO R3

1. Download Arduino Software (which includes the USB driver for Arduino UNO and AVRDUDE)
2. http://arduino.cc/en/main/software
3. Create an folder Arduino e.g. C:\arduino-1.0.3
4. Copy the Arduino files into C:\arduino-1.0.3
5. The drivers can be found under C:\arduino-1.0.3\drivers     (not the FTDI USB Drivers)
6. If the Arduino UNO was already connected then use following help http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/UnoDriversWindowsXP which is similar to Windows7 or Windows8 procedure.
7. AVRDUDE can be found in folder:  C:\arduino-1.0.3\hardware\tools\avr\bin
8. Configure the programmer in Bascom-AVR OPTIONS >>>> Programmer
9. Select: External programmer
10. Select: Hex
11. Under Program: select the path to AVRDUDE.exe   -->  C:\arduino-1.0.3\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe
12. Under Parameter use:   -v -F -C c:\arduino-1.0.3\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf -p m328p -P com8 -c arduino -b 115200 -Uflash:w:{FILE}:a
13. Change the comX port to the COM port of your Arduino UNO
14. The avrdude.conf file can be found here: c:\arduino-1.0.3\hardware\tools\avr\etc\
15. When you want to use an Arduino UNO (not R3) then you need to change arduino to stk500 (not tested info)

Easy Example Code

Source code for Hello World program:

$regfile = "m328pdef.dat"
$crystal = 16000000 '16MHz
$hwstack = 60
$swstack = 60
$framesize = 60
 
Config Com1 = 57600 , Synchrone = 0 , Parity = None , Stopbits = 1 , Databits = 8 , Clockpol = 0
 
 
Do
 
 Print "Hello World"
 Waitms 1000
 
Loop
 
 
End 'end program
