== Firmata ==

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.

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.
