Arduino Part 2 Topics: Programming Constructs: loops & conditionals Digital Input
Trying Something New • Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MITMedia Lab. • S 4 A is a Scratch modification that allows for simple programming of the Arduino
Installing and Running S 4 A (S 4 A is already installed on the lab computers but you must still install the firmware. ) • • Download The S 4 A firmware from here Connect your Arduino board to a USB port in your computer Open the Arduino IDE Open the firmware file (S 4 AFirmware 15. ino) in the Arduino IDE In the Tools menu, select the board version and the serial port Load the firmware into your board using Tools > Upload Open the S 4 A program
