Setting up with Arduino IDE

Chances are, you picked up a Trinket because it is programmable with the Arduino IDE. Note
that the Trinket is not a full Arduino-compatible, it uses a different (smaller) chip than the
Uno, Mega, Leonardo or Due. However, there are many small sketches and libraries that will
work just fine. Some may not even need anything other than pin number changes.
Even though Trinket has a USB connector, it does not have a "Serial Console"
capability, so you cannot use Serial to send and receive data to/from a computer!

The Fast Way

If you don't want to modify an existing Arduino IDE install, you can simply download our
ready-to-go and tested Flora/Gemma/Trinket-ified v1.05 right here:
If you're using Mac OS Mavericks you will need to update the setting to permit running
Arduino IDE
1. Click the Lock Icon and Login
2. Change "Allow Apps Downloaded From": to "Anywhere"
3. Open the downloaded IDE.
4. Go back to the Security preferences and change the selection back to "Mac App Store
and identified developers"
5. You only need to go through this procedure once. Mavericks will remember that it's OK
to run the app.
On Windows machines, be sure to extract the contents of the zip file. The IDE will not
execute properly from a compressed folder.
