Test the Software

It is recommended that you test the Arduino before starting the assembly of the enclosure.

1. Download the source code from

, and extract the .zip

file (or clone the repository if you're git-savvy!).

2. Open the Arduino USB Test sketch (lighthack-

master\test_tools\usb_test\usb_test_sketch\usb_test_sketch.ino) in the Arduino IDE.

3. Before the sketch will compile, we need to add additional code (called a "library")

so that the Arduino knows how to speak OSC. Download the library as a .zip
from

4. In the Arduino IDE, select

Sketch > Include Library >Add .ZIP Library...

and

select the OSC zip file you downloaded

5. Press the check mark to verify your sketch.
