3. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
In order to start programming the Joy-IT ard_Mega2560R3, a develop-
ment environment and the drivers for the corresponding operating sys-
tem must first be installed on the computer.
The Arduino IDE (which you can download here), which is available as an
OpenSource soware under the GPLv2 and published by the Arduino
manufacturer. It is aimed at beginners from concept and structure. It is
fully compatible with the Joy-IT ard_Mega2560R3 and contains the pro-
gramming environment as well as the necessary drivers to get started
right away.
Aer installing the soware, the corresponding microcontroller board
must be set up in the programming environment. To do this, follow the
following two steps:
1. Under Tools → Board muss Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560
must be selected.
2. Under Tools → Port then select the port which is marked with
Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560 .
