user11772: I am A Newbie to Arduino
I have a Windows 7 PC. Last Time I bought an Arduino Uno Clone but after working for a day, it stopped detecting on the port. So I bought a new Clone Of different brand. Now I Want in which sequence should I install its drivers, Coonect it, Unzip Arduino IDE...Reboot??
I dont want a problem this time. Another question is Should I first connect the clone and then Install its drivers Or first install drivers and then plug the board? When Is the reboot required?

Please Explain...
Thanks In Advance

user18621: I have shorted my bords a few time and they always came back to "life" after a minute. Maybe you should be more concern about the voltage you supply to the board. Even if it can take up to 12 volt I never use more then 9 volt on the board. And if you run motors on them its always good to supply them with an external power source and use something like a H bridge to power your devices. I made mistakes and my board are still in mint conditions.
