2. Setting up an Arduino

The Arduino website has excellent information on getting started with Arduinos

They also have extensive documentation and tutorials

Here we will give our (probably idosyncratic) way to set up and use an Arduino as an Inator.

Will assume that (at least initially) you will code in Arduino C.

We also assume that you are using a UNO but this won’t make a let of difference to the initial set up.

First steps

First get an Arduino (or compatible clone) and install the IDE to run it. There are other methods to compile and upload programmes, but this is the simplest and least error prone

Once installed, open the programme and connect your Arduino
