 ====== 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. For the MPAINO-8A8R(T) in this example, connect a standard USB cable to the CPU module's download port.
-  - 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 =====
-{{ :guide:arduino-ide-setup-flow-en-mobile.svg?350 |Install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS SDK, restart, then select the board and port }}
+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 install the Windows Arduino IDE installer from the [[https://www.arduino.cc/en/software|official Arduino download page]].
+==== All MPAINO Models ====
-  - 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 ====
+  - Connect the PC to the CPU module's **USB download port** with a USB cable.

-^ Marker ^ What to do ^
+==== All MPAINO Models · Output 64 ====
-| **1** | **Verify (✓):** Compile the code and check for errors. This does not send the program to the product. |
-| **2** | **Upload (→):** Send the verified program to the product on the selected port. |
-| **3** | **Board selector:** Check the selected model, or reopen board and port selection. |
-| **4** | **Sketch editor:** Enter the code below. |
 <code cpp>
-const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64; // MPAINO-8A8R(T) example
+// first MPAINO output
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64;
 void setup() {}
@@ Line 93: / Line 89: @@
 </code>
-For MPAINO-8A8R(T), the ILOGICS SDK's ''main()'' configures the output pin before ''setup()'' runs. This example does not need a separate ''pinMode()'' call.
+==== MPINO Models with Input 0 and Output 32 ====
-  - 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.
+Use this example with MPINO-8A4R(T)-S, MPINO-8A4R-SU, MPINO-8A8R(T)-S, and MPINO-16A16R.
-  - 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 indicator for that output changes state every 0.5 seconds, if fitted.
-You may also hear a relay contact switch. Without an external supply and load, a transistor output cannot be measured like a voltage output. If the product has no output indicator, first check the output test method in its manual.
+<code cpp>
+// first output on these MPINO models
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 32;
+void setup() {}
+void loop() {
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, HIGH);
+  delay(500);
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, LOW);
+  delay(500);
+}
+</code>
-===== 5. Turn an Output On with an Input =====
+==== MPINO-8A8R and MPINO-16A8R8T · Relay Output 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''.
+To test transistor output O(39) on MPINO-16A8R8T, check the transistor-output wiring on its product page and change ''OUTPUT_CHANNEL'' to ''39''.
 <code cpp>
-const uint8_t INPUT_CHANNEL = 0;   // MPAINO-8A8R(T) input example
+// relay output R(62)
-const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 64; // MPAINO-8A8R(T) output example
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 62;
 void setup() {}
 void loop() {
-  bool inputState = digitalRead(INPUT_CHANNEL);
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, HIGH);
-  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, inputState);
+  delay(500);
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, LOW);
+  delay(500);
 }
 </code>
-**Verify (✓)** and **Upload (→)** the sketch. Connect the input signal as shown in the MPAINO-8A8R(T) manual. Change its state and check that the output state changes with it. MPAINO digital inputs have built-in pull-down resistors. For another model, use addresses from that product's pin map and check its input circuit.
+==== MPINO-16A8R · Output 39 ====
+<code cpp>
+// relay output R(39)
+const uint8_t OUTPUT_CHANNEL = 39;
+void setup() {}
+void loop() {
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, HIGH);
+  delay(500);
+  digitalWrite(OUTPUT_CHANNEL, LOW);
+  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 ====

+| The model is missing from the board results | Confirm that ''ARDUINO SDK INSTALL'' ran, then restart Arduino IDE. Search for the board name exactly as shown in the product-family table. |
-| Verification reports an error | Read the error location in the output panel. Check the code for typos and confirm the selected board. |
+| No COM port appears in Device Manager | Use section 3 to check the connection and driver for your product. MPINO-16A8R does not use the MP Download Cable. |
-| Upload fails | Check the board and COM port, the product's upload cable, and product power. |
+| Verify reports an error | Check that the selected board matches the product and the code was entered correctly. Start with the first error shown in the output panel. |
-| Upload completes but the output does not change | Check that ''OUTPUT_CHANNEL'' is an output address in the product pin map. Check the output type and whether an indicator is fitted. |
+| Upload fails | Confirm that Device Manager and Arduino IDE show the same COM number. Check the cable connection and product power. |
+| Upload succeeds but the output does not change | Recheck the first output number in the product-family table and the R/T output type on the product page. A transistor output needs a wired test load to show its state. |
+| The output does not follow the input | Recheck the first input number in the product-family table and the input-to-COM wiring on the product page. |
