The
Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the easiest way to get
started doing awesome things with your new Arduino.
The IDE
is made by the Arduino team and works with not only the genuine boards but also
the clones!
As of
today (12/04/2015) the IDE is no longer just for Arduino, Intel's Galileo and
Edison boards can be programmed with it too making the IDE even more useful that its first start in life. Many company use the IDE in there product design.
Here is
the link to downloads the software (Link), it’s multiply platform and works in
the same way on all OS's (yes I have tried them all ... how sad!).
You may
be prompted to contribute a little bit of money to help with the development of
the IDE, if you can donate anything that will be able to help please do think about doing it (Link).
After all the downloading is done (in my case it was a while as my Internet connection is rubbish!) you can install the software in your normal way and get started.
*Overview*
The picture below is the first thing you see as you run the program, unlike some programs there really is not a lot here and certainly not a lot to make you take one look and run away in fear!

Again in my traditional fashion a picture with a load of crude drawings pointing out key points!

*Setting the IDE to UNO or NANO mode*
So this now all depends on the board you are planning to use to which option you select.
- Open the IDE
- Click on tools, found on the menu bar
- Hover over the "Board" menu
- Select the board that matches your device
One photo for good measure!
