CREATOR pro Development Environment for MAC OS
Required Materials
1.
CREATOR pro board
Micro USB cable
Introduction
2.
CREATOR pro is a programmable platform for developing all kind of IoT
applications. CREATOR pro is equipped with various peripheral interfaces, including
Wi-Fi, GPIO, I2C, UART, PWM and ADC. With these interfaces, CREATOR pro can
connect with electronic components such as LED, switches, manometer, hygrometer,
PM2.5 dust sensors and etc. The collected data can be uploaded via Wi-Fi, and be
utilized by applications on mobile devices to realize IoT implementation.
CREATOR pro and Arduino Uno have similar size, and the pins on CREATOR pro
are compatible with Arduino Uno. CREATOR pro uses micro USB connector to supply
power, which is common in many smart devices. CREATOR pro currently supports
Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10 32 and 64 bits and MAC OS operating systems. In this
example, please use Arduino IDE with version 1.6.7 or later.
If you are using a Windows system, please refer to the
documentation to start your development.

Page 2: Development Environment
From the version 1.6.5, Arduino IDE supports third-party hardware. Therefore, we can use Arduino IDE to develop applications on CREATOR pro, and many examples of Arduino can run on CREATOR pro too. Arduino IDE can be downloaded in the Arduino website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software... - Page 3 Development Environment for MAC OS Paste the following URL into "Additional Boards Manager URLs" field: https://github.com/RAKWireless/CREATOR-Arduino-SDK/raw/master/release/package_rakwireless.com_creator_index.json Next, go to "Tools" > "Board" > "Boards Manager"...
- Page 4 Board Manager. So, we close the Boards Manager, and then open it again. Type "RAK CREATOR Boards" in the filter, click "Install", then the Arduino IDE starts to download required files for CREATOR pro.
- Page 5 Arduino IDE tool does not recognize the serial port, please search Arduino environment MAC serial port installation, there will be a solution on the network. Connect CREATOR pro to the computer with micro USB cable and check the power LED(red) is on, LED7 & LED8 alternately flash.

Development Environment for MAC OS 4. First Example 4.1. Compile & Upload Arduino IDE provides many built-in examples, which can be compiled, uploaded and run directly on the boards. Here, we take the "Blink" example as the first try. Open "File" -> "Examples" -> "01.Basics" -> "Blink" ... - Page 7 Development Environment for MAC OS Afterwards, we will upload the compiled code to CREATOR pro board. Please make sure CREATOR pro is connected to your computer, then click "Sketch" -> "Upload". Again, during the uploading procedure the IDE prints messages. Uploading procedure requires respectively longer time (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
- Page 8 4.2. Run the Blink example In each example, Arduino not only provides sample code, but also detailed documentation, including wiring diagram, sample code explanation and technical details. These examples can be directly used on CREATOR pro. For more information, refer to this. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink In short, this example makes LED blinks, and it uses GPIO pin 13.
- Page 9 Development Environment for MAC OS Connect the LED and resistance as the following figure: NOTE: In an LED, the longer pin is the positive pole, and shorter pin is the negative pole. So we connect the longer pin to D13, and connect the shorter pin to GND. ...
