Installing The Arduino Ide - SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX v2 User Manual

1.2 – Installing the Arduino IDE
In order to compile and upload the firmware to the RAMBo controller, you're going to need the
Arduino IDE. This is an open source software development environment targeted at the Arduino
family of ATMega-based microcontroller project boards. At its heart, the RAMBo controller is just an
Arduino Mega 2560 with a lot of goodies attached to it.
You can download the Windows, MacOS and Linux version of the Arduino IDE from here:
http://arduino.cc/download
The version of the IDE used as of this writing is 1.6.1, but later versions can be used.
Install the Arduino IDE using the downloaded installer.
Now you need to download the firmware from SeeMeCNC's github repository.
https://github.com/seemecnc/Firmware/archive/master.zip
Unpack the "master.zip" file that you downloaded into a directory where you can keep track of
it. You may need to reference it in the future.
Start the Arduino IDE – you should be presented with a screen that looks similar to this:
