|Before you being programming your Arduino in ROBOTC, you'll need to let ROBOTC know which Arduino board you are using. To do this, go to the '''Robot''' menu and select '''Platform Type''' → '''Arduino''' → '''Standard Arduino''' and choose your board from one of the choices.

'''''Note: If you are using an Arduino 2560, make sure you take a look at the follow page on how to [http://www.robotc.net/wiki/ARDUINO_MEGA_Update_Bootloader upgrade your bootloader].'''''

=== Select your Serial Port ===

|-
|Once your Arduino's Type is selected, you'll need to select which serial port the Arduino is connected to on your computer. Go to the '''View''' menu and choose '''Select Communication Port'''. From here, you'll pick your Arduino board from the dropdown menu.

=== Opening Sample Programs ===
{|width="740px"
|-
|ROBOTC has a number of sample programs (and more added every version) for you to learn how to program and use your Arduino board. You can open a sample program by going to the '''File''' menu and selecting '''Open Sample Program'''. Once you're in the open sample programs directory, make sure you choose your '''''Correct'' Sample Program Folder for your Arduino.'''
