 How can I program Arduino 101 board using Visual Studio? It is not very difficult. You need to use the right tools. If you rather not use Visual Studio 2015, you could also use the program from Arduino . But Visual studio does lot more than Arduino Program. Follow these steps. Step 1: First thing you need to have is the correct version (if you follow my advice) of Visual Studio. Get the Visual Studio 2015 Community (What I have is the same but with Update 2). If you do not have, no problem. Read this post . Step 2: For Arduino to work with Visual Studio 2015 Community (VS2015C), you need to install the Arduino Extensions for Visual Studio. A default install of VS2015C does not have the 'hooks' to create a Arduino Project. You will not find it in the ' New Project... ' templates. You need to install the Arduino Extension for Visual Studio 2015. You can get an idea how to do it by following this Swaytorial : Step 0: Of course you need to buy t...

Arduino 101 is an electronics board that makes it easy to test out some simple IOT examples. It is not quite ready for IOT but you can do some Bluetooth tests with it. It also has built-in 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope.  It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 4 can be used as PWM outputs); 6 analog inputs; an USB connector for serial communication and sketch upload, a power jack, an ICSP header with SPI signals and I2C dedicated pins. These peripherals are the same ones you find on Arduino UNO.  Optionally, the USB connector also supplies power to the board. This post shows how to work with Arduino 101 using the Arduino 1.8.3 program. You can test using the Blink program; a program that you upload to the board that makes an LED to blink. Review this Swaytorial on the docs.com site .

If you intend using the more recent Arduino hardware such as Arduino 101 you better use the more recent Arduino IDE 1.6.8. Here is an image of all Arduino products. In a previous post you reviewed using the Visual Studio 2015 with Arduino Extension. In this post you will learn how to download the latest version and install it on Windows 10 computer. You download arduino-1.6.8-Windows.exe from here . You begin installing by double clicking the executable. Here are some of the installation time screen shots for your reference: On Windows 10 it also adds a desktop App to the All Apps menu. You launch it by double clicking the shortcut or the desktop app or the shortcut in the installation folder.   Click Tools in the main menu to find the Board Manager link ass shown. In the drop-down you can see the various hardware that can be accessed. Click Board Manager... to open another drop-down. Scroll down to view the Arduino 101 by Intel. That's all...
