Description
Arduino is an open source platform with simple software and hardware. You can pick it up in
short time even if you are a beginner. It provides an integrated development environment (IDE)
for code compiling, compatible with multiple control boards. So you can just download the
Arduino IDE, upload the sketches (i.e. the code files) to the board, and then you can see
relative experimental phenomena. For more information, refer to
http://www.arduino.cc
.
Install Arduino IDE
The code in this kit is written based on Arduino, so you need to install the IDE first. Skip it if you
have done this.
Step 1
: go to the arduino.cc website and click
Download
. On the page, check the software list
on the right side under
Download the Arduino Software
.
Find the one that suits your operation system and click to download. There are two versions of
Arduino for Windows: Installer or ZIP file. You're recommended to download the former.
