Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, uisp, avr-libc, avrlib, and code from Processing and Wiring. +INSTALLATION + +Detailed instructions are in reference/howto.html. + +If you are using a USB Arduino, you will need to install the drivers for the +FTDI chip on the board. These can be found in the drivers/ directory. + +On Windows, you will need to unzip FTDI USB Drivers.zip. Then plug in the +Arduino board and point the Windows Add Hardware wizard to the FTDI USB Drivers +directory. + +On the Mac, mount the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_0_1.dmg disk image and run the +included FTDIUSBSerialDriver.pkg. + +Also, on the Mac, run the macosx_setup.command (after moving the Arduino +distribution to your /Applications folder). It corrects permission on a few +files for use with the serial port and will prompt you for your password. You +may need to reboot after running this script. + UPDATES 0003
