Starting Physical Bits

First, extract the contents of the downloaded zip file into a folder of your preference.

Depending on your operating system, you should see something like this:

start_desktop.1

Now, you just have to run the PhysicalBits.exe (on Windows) or PhysicalBits (on macOS and Linux).

The following loading screen should appear right away and, after a few seconds of the robot jumping impatiently, the IDE should open.

start_desktop.2 start_desktop.3

Before connecting to your Arduino board, you'll need to upload the firmware. Find instructions here.

If you find any problem using Physical Bits, please check our troubleshooting page. If you can't find a solution to your problem please submit an issue. Thanks!

Happy programming!
