However, this installation method needs separate installation of driver.
The Arduino folder contains both the Arduino program itself and the drivers that allow the Arduino to be connected to your computer by
a USB cable. Before we launch the Arduino software, you are going to install the USB drivers.
Plug one end of your USB cable into the Arduino and the other into a USB socket on your computer. The power light on the LED will
light up and you may get a 'Found New Hardware' message from Windows. Ignore this message and cancel any attempts that Windows
makes to try and install drivers automatically for you.
The most reliable method of installing the USB drivers is to use the Device Manager. This is accessed in different ways depending on
your version of Windows. In Windows 7, you first have to open the Control Panel, then select the option to view Icons, and you should
find the Device Manager in the list.
Under ‘Other Devices’, you should see an icon for ‘unknown device’ with a little yellow warning triangle next to it. This is your
Arduino.
