Power Laces- the Auto lacing shoe

Step 9 Upload the Arduino Sketch

Plug the USB cable into the Arduino and the computer, and open the .pde sketch with the Arduino IDE.  Make sure you have download the motor shield libraries as detailed in it's instructions.

Click 'Upload' and within a few seconds it'll be transferred and the shoe is now ready for use!

Just a caveat, this is my first time working with the Arduino and programming in general, so I'm sure the sketch is nowhere near optimized and could use some fine tuning.  Feel free to play around with it!

Why did you use a motorshield? Why not only a arduino?

So it would be bigger and clunkier.

Haha :), im just wondering, im a beginner. Are going to buy all these parts and when i showed this project for my teacher he was wondering why i needed a motorshield, not just drive the servo with the arduino.
