Switch to the GNOME desktop. This is because the application has been tested with GNOME, and not with Sugar. |

=== Packages === |
|||
In Terminal: |
|||
sudo yum install -y arduino |
|||
Roughly 40 MB of packages are downloaded and installed. |
|||
=== Fix Access === |
|||
The IDE requires that the user be a member of the ''lock'' group. See also <trac>11972</trac>. |
|||
This fix also restarts GNOME, so that the membership change is effective. <!-- todo: test to see if this is actually necessary --> |

Firmata is a generic protocol for a computer to communicate with microcontrollers. The Sugar Labs [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/TurtleArt Turtle Art activity] included in OLPC OS builds supports Firmata 2.1 or later, and can use an Arduino board as a general purpose analog and digital I/O interface. |

Installing the Arduino IDE on OLPC OS.
Choose a larger font
The default font is very small on the XO laptop, to fix it:
- Applications -> Programming -> Arduino,
- File -> Preferences,
- Editor font size to 18, OK,
- Quit and restart Arduino.
