Configuring the environment
Setting up the Arduino Software
- Download the Arduino IDE 1.6.x according to your operating system from: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software .
- Install the Arduino IDE
- If you have chosen to download the installer, run the installer and install the software in a path of your convenience.
- If you have chosen to download the sources (Linux or zip on Windows), uncompress the software in a path of your convenience
- Open/run the arduino IDE so it will create all the folders needed
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_MAIN_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/.
Important: If you already have a libraries folder, move the content of the libraries folder downloaded inside the libraries folder of <ARDUINO_MAIN_DIRECTORY>
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.
