Installing Tools and Libraries
- Download the robot libraries from: here .
- Uncompress the libraries to a path of your convenience. In this file you will find two folders: hardware and libraries
- Copy both folders to the arduino projects directory. In some Windows you will find this folder in My Documents\Arduino\ , while in others you will find it in Documents\Arduino\ . In Linux you will find this folder in ~/Arduino/.
Hello World example
Compiling the code
Downloading the code to the robot
Installing FTDI drivers
If you are using Linux or Mac, skip this step. If you are using Windows, power up the robot and connect it to your computer. Windows should ask you to install some FTDI drivers to be able to connect to the robot.
