The most important thing while making a project using arduino is to know how to program it. In this post I will be telling you how to program your arduino on both windows and android device.  
 

On Windows Device

Firstly you will need to download software from there website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software and install it.




When you open the software you will see a window as shown above. Here you can write/past the codes. After writing the program and compiling(you can compile your code by clicking on tick mark)it, connect your arduino to your computer via usb cable and follow the steps given below.

Step 1:

Go to tool-->Board and select appropriate arduino board.



Step 2:

After selecting the board you have to select the serial port, basically your are choosing the port in which you have connected your arduino.

On Android Device


To program your arduino using your android device you will need to download an app called ArduinoDroid - Arduino IDE to download it click here.

After installing the app open it you will see a black screen as shown above, this is the place where you write/paste your code.After writing the program and compiling(you can compile your code by clicking on flash symbol)it,connect your arduino to your android device via usb cable using on the go adapter(OTG) and follow the steps given below.

Step 1:

Click on 3 dots at top right corner go to Settings-->Board types-->Arduino and select your board.

Step 2:

Click(downward arrow at top) on upload.That is it you have successfully uploaded your program on your arduino board.

Conclusion:

This are the steps which you need to follow to successfully  program yous arduino. This is a basic guide for those beginner who want to build there own projects using arduino boards.
