Your first Uno upload
Blink the built-in LED every half second.
Learn the board, USB connection and the two halves of a breadboard before adding components.
Use the Uno R3 Learning Kit. Build with power disconnected, check the labelled connections, then upload the supplied sketch. Drag or zoom the 3D model to inspect it from any angle.
Step 1 — Watch the complete build
Press Play for the narrated build. You can rotate and zoom the model while it plays, or follow the individual steps below.

Keep U S B disconnected while you build. On this breadboard, each group of five holes shares a connection; the centre channel separates the two halves. You can drag the 3D view to look around. Check all wiring. Connect the square U S B-B plug to the Uno and the U S B-A plug to your computer. Use Verify and Upload in the code editor below.
Step 2 — Understand the breadboard
Keep USB disconnected while you build. On this breadboard, each group of five holes shares a connection; the centre channel separates the two halves. You can drag the 3D view to look around.

Step 4 — Program your Uno
Choose Arduino Uno. Verify, pair the board and Upload this sketch. Keep USB connected. Blink the built-in LED every half second.
Step 5 — Try it and troubleshoot
The small L LED on the Uno blinks twice per second. Change both delays to 1000 and upload again.
If it does not work
Choose Arduino Uno and the correct USB port. Use a data-capable USB cable. Disconnect external wiring before diagnosing an upload failure.
