1. componentList AcrylicPlates 1.1. The acrylic plates are fragile, so please be careful when assembling them in case of breaking. The acrylic plate is covered with a layer of protective film. You need to remove it first. Some holes in the acrylic may have residues, so you need to clean them before use.
2. Assembly 2.1 Install and Remove Batteries Take out 2 ribbons and 2 batteries. Roll one end of the ribbon to let through a battery and fix. Insert the batteries into the rings-ribbon closer to the anode. Install the batteries into the holder based on the pole.
3.Insta the driver 3.1 Install Arduino IDE 1. Enter “www.arduino.cc” in your browser and download Arduino IDE. 2. Download different versions according to different computer systems.
Page 10
3. Install, remember your installation directory.
3.2Configure Environment Connect the control board and open Arduino, you will see the serial port is not accessible,meaning that you have not installed the serial port driver. Open the driver program, install corresponding driver according to the computer operating system.
Page 14
Now you will find the Arduino serial port is accessible (different computer configuration has different serial port). Confirm the library file: First open the downloaded program file, find the libraries folder, and then right click and select copy. (This is my installation directory, each computer has different specific installation...
