Using With Arduino Ide - adafruit learning system ItsyBitsy 32u4 Manual

Using with Arduino IDE

Since the ItsyBitsy 32u4 uses an ATmega32u4 chip running at 8 or 16 MHz, you can pretty easily get it working with
the Arduino IDE. Many libraries (including the popular ones like NeoPixels and display) work great with the '32u4 and
8/16 MHz clock speed.
Now that you have added the appropriate URLs to the Arduino IDE preferences, you can open the Boards Manager by
navigating to the Tools->Board menu.
Once the Board Manager opens, click on the category drop down menu on the top left hand side of the window and
select Contributed. You will then be able to select and install the boards supplied by the URLs added to the
prefrences. In the example below, we are installing support for Adafruit AVR Boards , but the same applies to all
boards installed with the Board Manager.
Next, quit and reopen the Arduino IDE to ensure that all of the boards are properly installed. You should now be able
to select and upload to the new boards listed in the Tools->Board menu.
