Embeetle IDE Interactive Design Environment can program your Arduino Uno and many other processor boards.

Download, Unzip, Open

Embeetle is one of those programs that you run from its folder. Locate embeetle.exe and open. First time select style and accept license agreements.

Embeetle Home

Manage your projects, software and CPUs. Wizards will download softwares for new boards and almost ready to program your Arduino.

Click on the CREATE icon. Wait for update. Select arduino-uno-smd-r3-blinky from the list. Look through the pull down menus to see all of the supported processors.

Intro Wizard

These are the softwares used by MicroChip and ArduinoCorp to program Arduino boards and all of the ATmega and ATtiny processor chips. Other chips need other Toolchains to compile.

First time for any processor project needs to download softwares for build, compilers and flash upload. They will be installed in the Embeetle folder.

You still need to look after programmer device drivers for the operating system. Example: I am using an Arduino Uno board with a CH340 serial chip and need a Windows driver for it.

Embeetle Studio IDE

Professional software developers have designed this interface for you. On the left hand panel is the blinky example program from Arduino. We won't modify the code for this project.

Explore the menus, configurations and options. You can close and re-open the little windows.

Click Build

Output window opens to show us our build process. Look through to see how our output .elf file is made.

You can view the output files in a build folder. Default location in your home folder.

Connect Arduino Board

Your computer operating system will assign a communication port to your board. You can see the port in Windows Device Manager

This PC has an Arduino Uno Original on COM9 and a USB-Serial CH340 chip on COM4. Select the correct port number for the board you want to program.

Click Flash

Watch the verbose output on the screen. Check LED on board.
