3.KEYESTUDIO Plus Development Board

Before we get started with the KEYESTUDIO STEM Starter Kit, we first

introduce the Plus Development Board, it is the core of all the

projects.

KEYESTUDIO Plus Development Board is fully compatible with

4
Arduino and contains all the functions of the Arduino UNO R3, but it is

more powerful than the Arduino UNO R3. It is the best choice to learn

how to build circuits and design your own code. Let us get more

detailed information about it.

Serial communication interface: D0 is RX, D1 is TX

PWM interface (pulse width modulation): D3 D5 D6 D9 D10 D11

External interrupt interface: D2 (interrupt 0) and D3 (interrupt 1)

SPI communication interface: D10 is SS, D11 is MOSI, D12 is MISO,

5
D13 is SCK

IIC communication port: A4 is SDA, A5 is SCL

4.Installing Driver For Windows

6
4.1 Download Software
Arduino IDE is the open-source Software makes it easy to write code

and upload it to the board. When getting the control board, we first

need to install Arduino IDE

Go to the website https://www.arduino.cc/ and you will see the

following page.

Click and

7
Then you will see a page where you can download the latest version of

the IDE. There are the Installer (.exe) and the Zip packages you can

choose for Windows. We suggest you use the first one that installs

directly everything you need to use the Arduino Software (IDE),

including the drivers. With the Zip package you need to install the

drivers manually. The Zip file is also useful if you want to create a

portable installation.

Pull down this page, you can also click "previous version of the current

release" to enter another page to select and install the previous

version of Arduino Software.

8
In this project, we choose Installer (.exe) for Windows.

Click Windows Win 7 and newer and JUST DOWNLOAD.

The download file:

Double-click the arduino IDE (.exe) file

Choose "I Agree" to see the following interface.

Choose "Next" to see the following interface.

Press "Install" to initiate installation.

9
10
If the following interface appears, you should choose “Install”.

4.2 Installing Driver on Windows

Before using the KEYESTUDUO Plus Control Board, you must install

the driver of it, otherwise it will not communicate with computer.

Unlike the USB series chip (ATMEGA8U2) of the Arduino UNO R3, the

KEYESTUDIO Plus Development Board is used the CP2102 chip USB

series chip and USB type C interface.

The driver of the CP2102 chip is included in 1.8.0 version and newer

version of Arduino IDE. Usually, you connect the board to the

computer and wait for Windows to begin its driver installation process.

After a few moments, the process will succeed.

If the driver installation process fail, you need to install the driver

manually.

Note:

1. Please make sure that your IDE is updated to 1.8.0 or newer version

11
2.If the version of Arduino IDE you download is below 1.8, you should

download the driver of CP2102 and install it manually.

Link to download the driver of CP2102:

https://fs.keyestudio.com/CP2102-WIN

To install the drive manually, open the device manager of computer.

Right click Computer----- Click Properties-----Click Device Manager.

Look under Ports (COM & LPT) or other device.

A yellow exclamation mark means that the CP2102 driver installation

failed.

Double-click the font with yellow exclamation mark and clich “OK”

12
Click “browse my computer for updated driver software”.

13
Navigate to the "Drivers" folder of the Arduino Software you have

download and click “Next” to install the drive.

The driver is installed successfully.

Open device manager, we will find the yellow exclamation mark

disappear. The driver of CP2102 is installed successfully.

14
4.3 Configure Arduino IDE

After the driver is successfully installed, it’s time to configure the IDE

to use the same device and port to start uploading code.

For the KEYESTUDIO Plus Control Board, we should navigate to

Tools > Board > and select Arduino Uno(as shown below). However, if

you are using a different board (i.e., not the Arduino Uno or

KEYESTUDIO Plus Control Board), you must select the proper board!

15
Then select the correct COM port.

You can see the corresponding COM port after the driver is

successfully installed.

16
Navigate to Tools > Port >COM7

17
The function of each symbol in the Arduino IDE toolbar.

A- verify whether there is any compiling mistakes or not.

B- upload the sketch to your Arduino board.

C- create shortcut window of a new sketch.

D- directly open an example sketch.

E- save the sketch.

F- send the serial data received from board to the serial monitor.

4.4 Start First Program

18
Click File -> Examples -> 01.Basics ->Blink

When the sketch window opens, you can see the entire sketch in the

window.

19
Choose the correct board type and COM port

Click to upload the code.

Dode uploarding!

The onboard LED lights on for 1s, lights off for 1s.

Congratulation, you finish the first program.

34
6. Install the Libraries to Arduino

35
What are Libraries ?

Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to connect

to a sensor,display, module, etc.

For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal library helps talk to LCD

displays. There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the

Internet for download.

The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in

the reference（https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Libraries）.

How to Install a Library

6.1 Manual installation

When you want to add a library manually, first quit the Arduino

application, then you need to download library as a ZIP file, expand it

and put in the proper directory.

For this example, we will install the IR Remote Library which can be

found on GitHub: https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote

First, download the library as a ZIP, which is done by clicking the green

“Code” button and then clicking “Download ZIP”.

36
Once downloaded, Unzip the the IR Remote Library package.

Then navigate to your Arduino folder.

37
Open the“Libraries”folder in the Arduino folder and then drag the

“Arduino-IRremote-master”folder into the libraries folder.

The library file is manually installed.

6.2 Using the Library Manager

To install a new library into your Arduino IDE you can use the Library

38
Manager (available from IDE version 1.6.2). Open the IDE and click to

the "Sketch" menu and then Include Library > Manage Libraries.

Then the Library Manager will open and you will find a list of libraries

that are already installed or ready for installation. In this example we

will install the Bridge library. Scroll the list to find it, click on it, then

select the version of the library you want to install. Sometimes only

one version of the library is available. If the version selection menu

39
does not appear, don't worry: it is normal.

Finally click on install and wait for the IDE to install the new library.

Downloading may take time depending on your connection speed.

Once it has finished, an Installed tag should appear next to the Bridge

library. You can close the library manager.

40
You can now find the new library available in the Sketch > Include

Library menu.

6.3 Importing a .zip Library

Open the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library. At the top

of the drop down list, select the option to "Add .ZIP Library''.

We will install the IR Remote Library which can be found on GitHub:

https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote

41
First, download the library as a ZIP, which is done by clicking the green

“Code” button and then clicking “Download ZIP”.

Navigate to the .zip file's location and open it.

Return to the Sketch > Import Library menu.

You should now see the library at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
