Getting Started

Are you brand new to Arduino? Just put your hands on a new Arduino product? Worry no more. Here you can find our kickstart guides: step-by-step instructions to get you started with Arduino right away, so you can focus your time on creating incredible things.

Built-In Examples

Built-in Examples are sketches included in the Arduino Software (IDE); to open them, click on the toolbar menu: File > Examples. These simple programs demonstrate all basic Arduino commands. They span from a Bare Minimum Sketch to Digital and Analog IO, to the use of Sensors and Displays.

Examples from Libraries

The Arduino Software (IDE) can be extended through the use of libraries, just like most programming platforms, to provide extra functionality to your sketches. These tutorials walk you through the Examples of a number of libraries that come installed with the IDE. To open them, click on the toolbar menu: File > Examples.
