Connecting and Programming Arduino UNO

After installing the arduino IDE , the next step is to connect the arduino UNO board with windows PC or laptop and uplaod a simple program to verify the proper functionality of arduino UNO and proper communication between PC or laptop.
The steps involved for seting up arduino UNO and uploading program involves.

1. Connect the arduino uno with to laptop ot PC using USB A to B cable .
2. Browse in control panel and go into hardware options and open DEVICE MANAGER and click on PORTS( COM & LPT) option it will scroll down to Arduino(COM X) X is the numeric number.
3. Double-click on Arduino(COM X) it will open a window which contain details for updating the arduinno drivers as shown in image below:


Select the UPDATE DRIVER option and then select the FTDI USB DRIVER from arduino folder.
After successful updation of drivers .
4. Now open the Arduino IDE and go into tools option and check the BOARD and SERIAL PORT options and make sure the BOARD selected is ARDUINO UNO and SERIAL PORT is same as in DEVICE MANAGER as in case of above image it is COM 3 as shown in image below:


5. After confirming the BOARD TYPE and PORT , go to FILE option and select the BLINK program from EXAMPLES option. Then verify and upload the program in arduino uno and see the orange LED on board blinking.

All of the above steps are elaborately shown in video on youtube, watch the video for better understanding of the process:
