Arduino IDE Setup

1. Get the IDE

• Get Arduino 1.6.1: e.g. Windows link, etc. Note: it MUST be 1.6.1, and not a later version, for now. The IDE team moved around files a lot in a way that I haven't been able to keep up with.

2. Get the code

• Create a directory called koduino under Arduino\hardware (next to arduino)
• Clone the repository using Sourcetree (or whatever) into the koduino directory.
• The file/folder structure should match
  

3. Write and upload your first program

• Create a file called Blink.ino with the following contents. (This is the Blink example from the Digital output section.)

// Change to whatever pin an LED is connected to
const int led = PC13;

void setup() {
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(led, TOGGLE);
  delay(1000);
}

• Double-click the file to open it in the Arduino IDE.
• Select Tools -> Board -> f37x (Mainboard 1.1) or f301 (MBLC) etc.
• Plug in the boad and select the (hopefully only) option in Tools -> Port (that isn't Bluetooth-Modem or Bluetooth-Incoming-Port). On Mac OS, select the "/dev/tty." option.
• Hit Cmd+u (Mac) or Ctrl+u to compile and upload. If it says "Failed to init" at the bottom, please try again.
