Installing the Software

:

Before you begin you will need to have the Arduino IDE version 0022 installed on your computer. The Arduino 
IDE is a free integrated development enviroment that allows you to program Arduino development boards and 
compatible products using a simplified version of C++.

Do  not  use  later  versions  as  the  demonstration  software  will  not  work  and  the  compiled  program  uses  more 
memory. If you do not have this software installed already then download it from here: 

You may also need to install VCP (virtual com port) drivers for the CP2102 USB interface. You can download the 
latest drivers from here:

The  sample  code  for  this  robot  should  be  available  from  the  distributor.  It  is  also  available  from  the  DAGU 
product support site here:

Unzip the sample code and copy the folder into your sketch pad or other directory of your choice. For Windows 
users this will be a folder called "Arduino" in the "My Documents" folder. Run the Arduino IDE, go to the file menu 
and select open.
