Installing the Software - Mango-kid/maciot GitHub Wiki

Despite the title of this page there isnt any software that needs to be installed on your computer. We are using the Arduino IDE and it has been made portable for the purpose of easy version management and constancy when developing. First we need to download the Arduino IDE zip file. Please get it from the link below.

Download MacIoT Arduino Here

Unzipping

Once you have finished the download unzip the folder somewhere you will be using it (ie. Not your downloads folder!)

Drivers for the MacIoT Board

The MacIoT Board is a USB device and does require drivers to run. Drivers for the device should install automatically when plugged into your computer. So before running the Arduino IDE plug your board in and let the drivers install. The device will show up in device manager under COMM & LPT Ports.

If they do not install you can grab the drivers here

Running the Arduino IDE

Browse into the folder that you just unzipped and click on the Arduino executable. You can make a shortcut to this on your desktop or in some other useful location. Once you run the software you will see the Arduino IDE pop up. You can now move on to creating your first program.
