Programming Arduino with colorimeter firmware¶

Note: If you received a pre-programmed Arduino with your colorimeter kit you can skip this step.

• Download the Arduino colorimeter firmware from http://www.iorodeo.com/software/colorimeter.
• Unzip the downloaded file to a known location. After unzipping, you should see an “colorimeter_firmware” folder containing the different files used by the firmware.
• Connect your Arduino board to the computer, start the Arduino IDE (installation instructions available at: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage) and open the main firmware file “firmware.pde”. This file should compile without needing to download additional libraries.
• Select the Arduino Uno board model
• Select the serial port it is using (under “Tools” menu of the Arduino IDE)
• Upload the colorimeter firmware to the Arduino board [1].
