Configure and load the firmware

The Escornabot firmware is the combination of computer instructions and data sets residing on the Arduino microcontroller. It is responsible for controlling the hardware components (buttons, motors, etc) and the interaction with the Escornabots's world.

You have to configure and load the firmware for your Escornabot. We will guide you in this process but you should know about the requirements:

• You must install the Arduino Software on your PC.
• If you're using an Arduino Pro Mini an USB-UART serial converter is needed to connect the PC to the Arduino.

Note: These guides were tested with GNU/Linux systems. If you use privative software (like Windows or OSX) you are strongly invited to change to a free software OS.

If you are interested in the code (developers or hackers), you should visit our GitHub repository. Moreover, you can "watch" us on Github to keep in touch with the active development.
