4.5 ARDUINO software
4.5.1 Programming the Robot with Arduino Programs.
Connect the robot by USB-cable to your PC.
As soon as the robot has been connected to an USB-port the Ar-
duino-system does not really need an extra battery or other power
supply. Instead the USB-connection to the PC will provide the re-
quired power supply.
ATTENTION:
The robot will always be activated as soon as the sy-
stem has been connected to the PC. The ON/OFF power
switch and LED5 will only be active in the case of bat-
tery powered operation.
Now you may open the Arduino Software (see fig. 3a).

4.5.2 Selecting an Arduino Program
We will start by loading a simple sample program named
„blink“ into the robot. The program will command the robot to
repeatedly flash LED1.
Load the program by searching and clicking the program in Ar-
duino’s software at the menu-entry
File>Examples>1. Basics>Blink (see fig. 3b), which will display the
following messages at the platform’s window (fig. 4a).
