Installing the Arduino Libraries for the Sparrow Nodes
- Download Arduino

- Locate the installation folder of Arduino on your drive (for Windows it's usually Program Files)
- Copy in Arduino\hardware\arduino\cores the contents of the folder sparrow_patch\Arduino\hardware\arduino\cores\sparrow
- Replace the file Arduino\hardware\arduino\boards.txt with sparrow_patch\Arduino\hardware\arduino\boards.txt
- Copy in Arduino\hardware\arduino\variants the folder named sparrow from sparrow_patch\Arduino\hardware\arduino\variants
- Restart the Arduino IDE
After a successful patch, you should be able to select a new board named Sparrow from the Tools>Board menu.
Connect the Sparrow Nest board through the supplied micro-USB cable to your computer and select the appropriate COM port from the Tools>Port menu
You're all set up!
