Steps

  1. Plug in the Oak PCB to the computer
  2. (Option A) Ensure the PCB can be detected with ls -al /dev/cu.usbmodem and arduino-cli board list. Run make to compile and upload the code to the board. (Option A) Ensure the PCB can be detected with <code>ls -al /dev/cu.usbmodem</code> and <code>arduino-cli board list</code>. Run <code>make</code> to compile and upload the code to the board.
  3. (Option B) Ensure the board can be detected with Arduino IDE. Compile and upload the code to the board. (Option B) Ensure the board can be detected with Arduino IDE. Compile and upload the code to the board.
  4. Watch the Blinky LED the board is battery-powered or USB-powered.
