Note

The newer environment software (version 1.5.x) has been in beta for a long time. Many people are happy with it, but I’ve found it to be unreliable. This is why this chapter relies on the Arduino Mega for motor control instead of a newer board.

To program the Arduino Mega, you’ll need the first option. To download it, open http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software in a browser, scroll until you see the Arduino 1.0.x heading, and click the link corresponding to your operating system.

After you’ve downloaded the Arduino file, you’re ready to install the application. The installation process depends on your operating system:

For Windows, the instructions are at http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows.

For Mac OS X, the instructions are at http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/MacOSX.

For Linux, the operating instructions depend on the distribution. The list of supported distributions and their instructions can be found at http://playground.arduino.cc/Learning/Linux.

If you’ve completed the directions, you should have an executable that brings up the Arduino IDE. Figure 9.2 shows what this looks like on my Windows 7 computer.
