Alright!, Let's make it simple.. It's Python language. What? Python?
Its' p-y-t-h-o-n. That's why i just share it with you
how to program gizDuino with python in just 4 steps.
Here's the site (Reference link) realpython.com/arduino-python
(Please visit the site to understand more about Arduino-Python... Thank you!)
"What Arduino does is also what gizDuino can do".
I used gizDuino LIN-UNO (ATmega328P) with PL2303 Driver on this blog Tutorial.
Visit Web: python.org (Download here)
a. Once you download the exe file and install it.
b. Click "Start" window by Type "run" [enter] and type "cmd".
c. Type "pip --version", here we are just checking if there's an existing Pip installed.
If there's a pip installed, proceed to #4.
If none, follow the instructions here[link].go to this site install it [link].
d. You can update the pip on the command window. Type "python -m pip install -U pip".
Wait until it successfully installed.
Open the Arduino IDE 1.8.10 or later.
Connect gizDuino LIN-UNO to your PC.
Select board. Tools > boards > Arduino Uno/Genuino Uno
Select comport. Tools > port > COM#
Go to File > Examples > find the Firmata library > Select the StandardFirmata
Click Upload.
Here's the simple way..
Go to your Desktop, Right-Click > New > Text Document (blank).
Rename the text file to "test.py". The icon will change to python file.
Put the cursor on test.py, right-click > Edit with IDLE > Select Edit with IDLE 3.8 (32-bit)
First, type "from pyfirmata import Arduino, util"
then Run > Run Module F5.
Python 3.8.2 Shell will run.
If error message occurred:
Go back to test.py.
Again Run module F5.
In Python Shell, its now collectiing pyfirmata... wait until successfully installed pyfirmata-1.1.0 pyserial-3.4
(See the Image below)
Now that you already installed the pyfirmata and pyserial. Let's try to blink LED on board.
Type the following in order in python language: (See the image below)
Once, you type the board = pyfirmata.Arduino('COM#"). The gizDuino board or the external component will connect.
Continue typing until the last line of the code. Press [Enter] twice to upload the program.
You will see the Digital Pin 13 is blinking every 1 sec.
Success!
"I use python to upload this program faster than arduino ide. I'm just saying.. so try it too!"

2. Uploading Arduino Firmata

Select board. Tools > boards > Arduino Uno/Genuino Uno

Go to File > Examples > find the Firmata library > Select the StandardFirmata
Click Upload.
3. Create new .py file
Here's the simple way..
Go to your Desktop, Right-Click > New > Text Document (blank).
Rename the text file to "test.py". The icon will change to python file.
Put the cursor on test.py, right-click > Edit with IDLE > Select Edit with IDLE 3.8 (32-bit)

4. Uploading the Blink Example Sketch
Now that you already installed the pyfirmata and pyserial. Let's try to blink LED on board.
Type the following in order in python language: (See the image below)
Once, you type the board = pyfirmata.Arduino('COM#"). The gizDuino board or the external component will connect.
