|||
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, and can use an Arduino board as a general purpose analog and digital I/O interface. |
|||
The StandardFirmata may be uploaded to an Arduino board, using the Arduino IDE: |
|||
* start Applications -> Programming -> Arduino, |
|||
* connect Arduino board, |
|||
* choose File -> Examples -> Firmata > StandardFirmata, |
|||
* choose Upload to send the program to the Arduino board. |
|||
Alternatively, StandardFirmata may be uploaded without using the Arduino IDE, see [[ProtoSnap_Contributors_Guide/Upload|How to upload StandardFirmata using ino]]. The download size is much smaller (18MB), but the steps required are more complex. |

Follow the [[#Ingredients|instructions above]], but before starting Arduino add the ''olpc'' user to 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 --> |

In Terminal, type this: |

sudo groupmems --group lock --add olpc && \ |

sudo systemctl restart prefdm.service |

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.
