Installation¶

In this section we cover retrieval of the latest release or development version of the code and subsequent installation for an Arduino device.

Prerequisites¶

This project depends on the arduino-peripherals library:

peripherals installation instructions.

The demo needs both the device library as well as the host library of simpleRPC:

simpleRPC device installation instructions.
simpleRPC host installation instructions.

Download¶

Latest release¶

Navigate to the latest release and either download the .zip or the .tar.gz file.

Unpack the downloaded archive.

From source¶

The source is hosted on GitHub, to install the latest development version, use the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/jfjlaros/vma209.git
cd vma209
git submodule init
git submodule update

Installation¶

Arduino IDE¶

In the Arduino IDE, a library can be added to the list of standard libraries by clicking through the following menu options.

Sketch
Import Library
Add Library

To add the library, navigate to the downloaded folder and select the subfolder named display.

Click OK.

Now the library can be added to any new project by clicking through the following menu options.

Ino¶

Ino is an easy way of working with Arduino hardware from the command line. Adding libraries is also easy, simply place the library in the lib subdirectory.

cd lib
git clone https://github.com/jfjlaros/vma209.git
