 ====== Getting Started with Arduino IDE ======
-Follow these steps to upload a program to an MPINO or MPAINO product and check one digital output and input. Input ''0'' and output ''64'' in the examples are for MPAINO-8A8R(T). For another product, replace them with the addresses in its pin map.
+This guide explains how to install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS boards, upload the first program to an MPINO or MPAINO product, and check its digital I/O.
-===== 1. Check the Product and I/O Addresses =====
+===== 1. Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS Boards =====
-Read the full model name, R/T output type, and power-input specification on the product label. The output type determines how you connect a load and check its operation.
+{{ :guide:arduino-ide-setup-flow-en.svg?1000 |Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS SDK, then select the board and port }}
-  * **MPAINO-8A8R(T):** The examples use input ''0'' and output ''64''. Check the terminals and addresses in the [[en-us_products:mpaino_8a8r|8A8R]] or [[en-us_products:mpaino_8a8t|8A8T]] pin map.
+{{ :guide:arduino-ide-setup-flow-en-mobile.svg?350 |Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS SDK, then select the board and port }}
-  * **Other MPAINO and MPINO models:** Open your model under [[en-us_products:mpaino|MPAINO Series]] or [[en-us_products:mpino_series|MPINO Series]] and check the input and output addresses you will use.
-===== 2. Before Powering On =====
+  - Install the Windows Arduino IDE from the [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/software|official Arduino download page]].
+  - Download and run ''ARDUINO SDK INSTALL'' from the [[https://www.ilogics.net/en-us/resources/downloads/software/3|ILOGICS Arduino SDK download page]].
+  - Close Arduino IDE and start it again.
-  - Check the terminal names and power polarity against the product manual.
+At the top left of Arduino IDE, **Verify (✓)** compiles the code and **Upload (→)** transfers it to the product on the selected port.
-  - Check COM wiring and the upload cable specified for the product.
-  - Leave output loads disconnected for the first upload and output check.
-  - Provide emergency-stop and overcurrent-protection circuits independently of the program.
-===== 3. Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS Boards =====
+The ILOGICS SDK configures digital I/O directions automatically. These examples do not need a separate ''pinMode()'' call.
-{{ :guide:arduino-ide-setup-flow-en.svg?1000 |Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS SDK, restart, then select the board and port }}
+===== 2. Connect the Product and Find the COM Port =====
-  - Download and install the Windows Arduino IDE installer from the [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/software|official Arduino download page]].
+Disconnect output loads before the first upload. Check the product page for the power specification and R (relay) or T (transistor) output type.
-  - Download and run ''ARDUINO SDK INSTALL'' from the [[https://www.ilogics.net/en-us/resources/downloads/software/3|ILOGICS Arduino SDK download page]]. It adds the ILOGICS board definitions to Arduino IDE.
-  - Close Arduino IDE and start it again.
-  - Connect the product to the PC, then select its board and port as shown below.
-==== Select the Board and Port ====
+==== All MPAINO Models ====
-Click the board selector at the top of Arduino IDE and choose **Select other board and port…**. The image shows a search for MPAINO-8A8R(T).
+  - Connect the PC to the CPU module's **USB download port** with a USB cable.
+  - In Windows **Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT)**, note the COM number shown for ''Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge(COMx)''.
+  - If the port does not appear, install the [[https://www.ilogics.net/en-us/resources/downloads/driver/2|CP210x USB driver]] and reconnect the cable.
-{{ :guide:arduino-ide-board-port-marked.svg?950 |Arduino IDE board and port selection dialog }}
+==== MPINO-16A8R ====
-^ Marker ^ What to do ^
+  - Connect the PC to the product's **USB download port** with a **USB A-to-B cable**.
-| **1** | Enter the product model in the **BOARDS** search field. |
+  - In Device Manager, note the COM number shown for ''Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge(COMx)''.
-| **2** | Select the ILOGICS board that matches the product label. For MPINO-8A4R-S and MPINO-8A4T-S, select ''MPINO-8A4R(T)-S''. |
+  - If the port does not appear, install the [[https://www.ilogics.net/en-us/resources/downloads/driver/2|CP210x USB driver]] and reconnect the cable.
-| **3** | Under **PORTS**, select the COM port that appears when you connect the product. ''COM3'' in the image is only an example; your port number may differ. |
-| **4** | Click **OK** to apply the selection. |
-You can verify code after selecting only a board, but uploading also requires a port. If you cannot identify the port, check its COM number under **Windows Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT)**.
+==== Other MPINO Models ====
-The example addresses in this guide use an ILOGICS board definition. Some models can also use Arduino Mega/Mega 2560, but in that case you must use the Arduino pin numbers in the product manual. Select an ILOGICS board definition to use ILOGICS built-in functions.
+  - Connect the PC to the product's download port with an **MP Download Cable**.
+  - In Device Manager, note the COM number shown for ''USB Serial Port(COMx)''.
+  - If the port does not appear, install the [[https://www.ilogics.net/en-us/resources/downloads/driver/1|FTDI driver for the MP Download Cable]] and reconnect it.
-===== 4. Your First Output Program =====
+===== 3. Select the Board and Port =====
-The sketch below turns MPAINO-8A8R(T) output ''64'' on and off every 0.5 seconds.
+Find the board name in the [[:en-us_products:mpino_series#mpino_series_specifications|MPINO Series specifications]] or the [[:en-us_products:mpaino#mpaino_series_specifications|MPAINO Series specifications]]. Open **Select other board and port…** from the board selector at the top of Arduino IDE, then search for the same name. The product name in the figure is an example of the selection method.

+===== 4. Blink the First Output =====
+Find the first I/O numbers for your model in the product-family table, then use the example below with the same numbers. Open **File → New Sketch**, enter the code, and save it with **Ctrl + S**. Select **Verify (✓)** and wait for ''Done compiling.'', then select **Upload (→)**.
+A relay output can be checked by its operating sound. To check a transistor output, switch off power and connect a test load according to the output-wiring section on the product page.
+==== All MPAINO Models · Output 64 ====
 <code cpp>
-const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64; // MPAINO-8A8R(T) example
+// first MPAINO output
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64;
-void setup() {
+void setup() {}
-  pinMode(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, OUTPUT);
+void loop() {
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, HIGH);
+  delay(500);
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, LOW);
+  delay(500);
 }
+</code>
+==== MPINO Models with Input 0 and Output 32 ====
+Use this example with MPINO-8A4R(T)-S, MPINO-8A4R-SU, MPINO-8A8R(T)-S, and MPINO-16A16R.
+<code cpp>

 void loop() {
@@ Line 69: / Line 107: @@
 </code>
-  - Open **File → New Sketch** and enter the code. For MPINO or another MPAINO model, change ''OUTPUT_CHANNEL'' to the first output address in that model's pin map.
+==== MPINO-8A8R and MPINO-16A8R8T · Relay Output 62 ====
-  - Save the sketch with **Ctrl + S**.
-  - Click **Verify (✓)**. Compilation is complete when the output panel shows no errors and ''Done compiling.'' appears.
-  - Check the board and port, click **Upload (→)**, and wait for the completion message.
-  - With the output load still disconnected, check that the corresponding output indicator changes every 0.5 seconds.
-You may also hear a relay contact switch. Without an external supply and load, a transistor output cannot be measured like a voltage output. Check its indicator and follow the measurement method in the product manual.
+To test transistor output O(39) on MPINO-16A8R8T, check the transistor-output wiring on its product page and change ''OUTPUT_CHANNEL'' to ''39''.
-===== 5. Turn an Output On with an Input =====
+<code cpp>
+// relay output R(62)
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 62;
-This example reads MPAINO-8A8R(T) input ''0'' and applies the same state to output ''64''. The output turns on when the input is ''HIGH'' and turns off when it is ''LOW''.
+void setup() {}

+  delay(500);
 }
+</code>
+===== 5. Control the Output with the First Input =====
+Switch off power before wiring the input and COM. Turn the input on and off and check that the output follows it. Use the **Digital Inputs** and **Output** sections of your product page to identify the terminals and COM.
+==== All MPAINO Models · Input 0 → Output 64 ====
+<code cpp>
+// first MPAINO input
+const uint8_t INPUT_CHANNEL = 0;
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64;
+void setup() {}
 void loop() {
-  bool inputState = digitalRead(INPUT_CHANNEL);
+  const bool inputOn = digitalRead(INPUT_CHANNEL);
-  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, inputState);
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, inputOn);
 }
 </code>
-**Verify (✓)** and **Upload (→)** the sketch. Connect the input signal according to the product manual. Change its state and check that the output indicator changes with it. MPAINO digital inputs have built-in pull-down resistors, so use ''INPUT''. For MPINO, check the model's input circuit and pin map before choosing the addresses and input configuration.
+==== MPINO Models with Input 0 and Output 32 ====
