THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Here are some video tutorials for beginners to get familiar with Arduino coding and hardware. These videos will give you a general overview of programming an Arduino and using the hardware in the kit. We highly recommend you watching them (The MEGA and NANO boards work the same way). Tips on setting up the UNO R3, MEGA 2560 and NANO boards: Install the driver located at http://www.arduined.eu/ch340g-converter- windows-7-driver-download/ for windows. Or http://kiguino.moos.io/2014/12/31/how-to-use-arduino-nano-mini-pro- with-CH340G-on-mac-osx-yosemite.html for mac. If your PC is still having issues detecting the board, try this: Download this driver file from the links above (which you already did): There will be a compressed file with two folders in it (INSTALL and CH341SER). Once you connect the board, go to device manager under control panel. Click the arrow on ports and expand it. Click update driver software and select manual install. Browse for the CH341SER folder and select it. Click OK. In the Arduino IDE, please make sure you have the following set up: Tools->Board->Arduino genuine/UNO (the respective board you are using) Tools->Programmer->AVR ISP Tools->Port->COM4 (or what that is available) It’s ok if you are still having issues. Please contact us and we will help you out.

Here are some video tutorials for beginners to get familiar with Arduino coding and
hardware. These videos will give you a general overview of programming an Arduino and
using the hardware in the kit. We highly recommend you watching them (The MEGA and
NANO boards work the same way).
Tips on setting up the UNO R3, MEGA 2560 and NANO boards: Install the driver located at http://www.arduined.eu/ch340g-converter-windows-7-driver-download/ for windows.

Tutorials & Helpful Links Arduino Tutorial #1 - Digital Inputs and Outputs - Button & LED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWY_Is0L7fE Note: We provide 220 ohms resistors for the LEDs and 10K ohm resistors for the buttons. Without a resistor, an LED would burn due to the access current going through the LED(resistors limit the amount of current that flows through a circuit). Now let’s us discover an RGB (Red Green Blue) LEDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q72DvmcCe4I 74HC595 shift register with LEDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqfPZXEuyuc 74HC595 shift register with 7 segment LEDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHA-fwiA4Qo IR Remote sensor with 7 segment LEDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caMW1RRPOGE Note: the IR configuration is different from what we have. However they share the same ideas. You can find the link for the code under the video. Photo sensor/Photoresistor (Photo cell in the video) with LED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfn02TZDl_Q Now we can try and play with the LED Matrix to do more cool stuff. http://arduino-er.blogspot.com/2015/01/arduino-uno-spi-8x8-led-matrix-with.html Servo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmpGXfVRd2A Potentiometer with Servo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWjkuYSQcoI
Joystick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlDi0vO9Evg Servo could also be controlled using the Joystick analog input signal, just like the Potentiometer with Servo example above. Stepper Motor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B86nqDRskVU Flame Sensor http://www.himix.lt/?p=644 Note: The video used an Arduino Nano board. The code can be also used with the Uno. You could hook up the piezo buzzer to test the sensor with a lighter. Piezo Buzzer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ELhkUkVOXo DHT 111 Temperature Sensor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OogldLc9uYc DS3231 Clock module https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4gV1Y28Ywg Note: Library needed for this module You can also use the 1602 LCD to display the time and temperature (super cool!) Here is an intro to using the 1602 LCD (other resolution LCD’s work the same way).
