Arduino Setup

Arduino Integration

Connecting the Arduino

Some experiments require a physical Arduino microcontroller for real hardware interaction.

1. Start the experiment that requires Arduino integration within the simulation.
2. The simulation will initiate the Arduino connection process.
3. The game will minimize, and a command prompt will appear to verify the connection and install the Arduino CLI.

Setting Up the Connection

1. Wait for the command prompt to finish verifying the connection.
2. Return to the game window once the prompt completes.
3. If the Arduino is not detected, a screen will appear asking you to connect it.
4. Connect the Arduino device to your computer via USB and press 'Retry'.

Uploading Experiment Code

1. Once connected, a screen will appear asking to upload the experiment code.
2. Press 'Upload' to begin the code transfer.
3. The game will minimize again while the command prompt uploads the code and necessary libraries.
4. Return to the game to continue the experiment with the Arduino fully initialized.
