Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o
|
|
|
|
|
board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring
|
|
|
|
|
language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or
|
|
|
|
|
can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).
|
|
|
|
|
The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source
|
|
|
|
|
IDE can be downloaded for free.

INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed instructions are in reference/Guide_Windows.html and
|
|
|
|
|
reference/Guide_MacOSX.html. For Linux, see the Arduino playground:

If you are using a USB Arduino, you will need to install the drivers for the
|
|
|
|
|
FTDI chip on the board. These can be found in the drivers/ directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Windows, plug in the Arduino board and point the Windows Add Hardware
|
|
|
|
|
wizard to the drivers/FTDI USB Drivers sub-directory of the Arduino
|
|
|
|
|
application directory.
