Note
This is a web-version of a tutorial chapter embedded right into the XOD IDE.
To get a better learning experience we recommend to install the
desktop IDE or start the
browser-based IDE, and you’ll see the same tutorial there.
Working with Hardware
In this part of the tutorial, you will learn how to upload programs to your Arduino (or compatible) controller board and work with hardware modules.
To upload programs to Arduino, you need to install the desktop version of XOD. The browser version does not have enough permissions to access USB ports. Nevertheless, you can upload XOD programs even from the browser version if you have the original Arduino IDE installed by copying and pasting the generated code.
If you have no hardware on hand, don’t give up. Skip to the 200-patterns part and go on replacing hardware nodes with watches and tweaks.
