The most recent Arduino IDE can be downloaded from http://www.arduino.org/downloads. The version that we are using when writing Arduino Full Stack is 1.8.3.
Default Arduino sketch looks like the following:
When Arduino board is connected to the host computer via USB cable, you will be able to see Arduino/Genuino Uno is automatically ticked and selected under the menu Tools->Board. And the users have to manually select/tick the port, here in my case is: Tools->Port->/dev/ttyACM0(Arduino/Genuino Uno).
Here, ttyACM0 is a USB communication device (CDC) of sub-type "abstract control model" (ACM). In UNIX, tty is any device that acts like a "teletype", ie, terminal.
