Since the end of July this year, Tinkercad has introduced the Circuits feature, and users who love electronic circuits have eagerly started creating many interesting circuit designs and checking the Simulation effects in Tinkercad.

However, many friends have @us, expressing that they are not satisfied with just viewing the simulation effects and want to turn their designs into reality. This article will teach you how to take your design from simulation to actual implementation.

1. A computer with a Windows operating system; my computer is Windows 10;

2. Install Arduino IDE on your computer. For details, please refer to Installation and Debugging of Arduino IDE↓↓↓↓

3.An Arduino Uno R3 development board and a USB cable (one end connects to the development board and the other end connects to the computer’s USB port).

1. Go to the official website https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software, choose the Windows installation package, and then select either “JUST DOWNLOAD” or “CONTRIBUTE&DOWNLOAD” based on your preference.

2. After the installation package is downloaded, double-click to open it, and click “I Agree”, “Next”, and “Install” to complete the installation. An Arduino icon will appear on the desktop, indicating successful installation.

Note: If prompted to install drivers during the process, always select “install”.

3. Double-click the icon to open the IDE interface:

a.Select the development board

b. Confirm the port

Note: If there are multiple ports, you can confirm which one to connect to using the following video.

1. Open your Arduino-based circuit design in Tinkercad and connect the actual circuit according to the design;

2. Click the “Code Editor” button in the circuit design to display the code editing area; then click “Download Code” to get a file with the .ino suffix that contains the relevant code;

3. Open the downloaded file from Tinkercad using Arduino IDE and click the “Upload” button to burn the relevant code to the Arduino development board.

4. Check the results: Done! ^_^
