Setting up the Software

You will need two programs for this level of Avionics:

  • The Arduino IDE is used for writing code, managing external libraries, and uploading programs to the Arduino Nano.
  • The SD Assocation Formatting Utility is used to format our MicroSD card to ensure its file system is configured in a way that is compatible with Arduino.

Arduino IDE

You can get the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) here. Install it like any other program before continuing.

SD Assocation Formatting Utility

You can get the SD Assocation Formatting Utility here. Install it like any other program before continuing.

Reboot Your Computer

It is always a good idea to reboot your computer once large development programs are installed.
