## Overview
|
||||
The Speeduino firmware is the code that powers the hardware and must be installed onto your board prior to using the ECU. New firmware releases are made regularly (Approximately every 2 months) that bring new features, bug fixes and performance improvements so staying up to date is highly recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
With the goal of maximum simplicity in mind, the process of compiling and installing the firmware is reasonably straightforward.

Installation - SpeedyLoader

--------------------------
|

## Installation - SpeedyLoader
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest method of installing the Speeduino firmware onto a standard Arduino Mega 2560 is with the SpeedyLoader utility. SpeedyLoader takes care of downloading the firmware and installing it onto an Arduino without the need to manually compile any of the code yourself. You can choose the newest firmware that has been released, or select from one of the older ones if preferred. SpeedyLoader will also download the INI file for the firmware you choose so it can be loaded into your TunerStudio project.

|
|||
1. Regular, stable code drops are produced and made as releases on Github. These can be found at: <https://github.com/noisymime/speeduino/releases>
|
||||
2. If you want the latest and greatest (And occasionally flakiest) code, the git repository can be cloned and updated. See <https://github.com/noisymime/speeduino>

#### Older firmware releases
|

If required, older firmware releases and details can be found at [Firmware History](Firmware_History "wikilink")
|

### Compiling the firmware
|
||||
|
||||
- Start the IDE, select *File > Open*, navigate to the location you downloaded Speeduino to and open the **speeduino.ino** file.

The firmware is now loaded onto your board and you are now able to move onto [Connecting to TunerStudio](Connecting_to_TunerStudio "wikilink").

Optionally, you may perform a verification of the firmware by using the Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor. This can be started by selecting 'Serial Monitor' from the Tools menu.
