No driver installation is necessary Make sure you can download a program (a “sketch”) from your computer to your Arduino

  2. living with the lab 1. install Arduino IDE IDE = Integrated Development Environment • download the installation file from the following website: • arduino.cc/en/Main/Software • save the downloaded file to a folder on your computer

  3. living with the lab • navigate to the folder with the zip archive • double click on the arduino-1.0.1-macosx.zip file
