As the original libraries have been retired by Arduino this core tries to reimplement all the functionality of both Arduino Robot boards with some added extensions.
This core requires at least Arduino IDE v1.6, where v1.6.11 or newer is recommended and required.
This installation method requires Arduino IDE version 1.6.11 or greater.
- Open the Arduino IDE.
- Open the File > Preferences menu item.
- Enter the following URL in Additional Boards Manager URLs:
https://rainerum-robotics-arduino.github.io/arduinorobot/package_j54n1n_arduinorobot_index.json - Open the Tools > Board > Boards Manager... menu item.
- Wait for the platform indexes to finish downloading.
- Scroll down until you see the Arduino Robot Boards entry and click on it.
- Click Install.
- After installation is complete close the Boards Manager window.
Click on the "Clone or download" button in the upper right corner. Exctract the ZIP file, and move the extracted folder to the location "~/Documents/Arduino/hardware" or to your selected sketchbook folder. Create the "hardware" folder if it doesn't exist.
