Tuesday: Slow and Rainey

It feels like time is going slower today, and on top of that it is raining like crazy. So, not the best day morale but nonetheless a day to chip away some more at the MaKey MaKey instructional video. So with that In mind I decided to record my own portion of the tutorial video on the software downloads necessary for complete operation of the MaKey MaKey Chord board. 

Nothing too fancy, just a screen recording which displays the steps necessary for making our Chord Board operational with the Scratch Code.

Step 1: Download the Arduino Editor from http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Step Two: Download our modified firmware and settings files from DropBox to use in the arduino editor. 

Step Three: Double click the Modified_Chord_Board_Firmware.ino file to open it along with the settings file in the arduino editor.

Step Four: With the MaKey MaKey connected via USB, click the "Verify" button on the top left of the Arduino Editor window. 

Step Five: Once verification is complete, press the Upload button directly to the right of the Verify button. Once uploading is complete, the MMCB will be ready to use with the scratch program!

And that's how it's done, simple really!
