As easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Get de IDE
Download and install the Pinguino IDE in your computer. Don't known how to use it? Check the Pinguino IDE v13 user manual.
2. Write and compile
cpp
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}Pinguino boards are programmed using the Pinguino language, that in turn, is based on Wiring and Processing Languages.
3. Upload
Connect the board to your PC and upload the code. Enjoy!
