Step 6Program the Squidbee

Program the Squidbee
Now is the time to program your Squidbee with the code to read the analog sensor.

First things first, unplug the Xbee shield from the Arduino (the part of the Squidbee the sensor is plugged into). Also, change the power jumper from battery to USB power.

Next, plug the Arduino into your USB port.

Open the Arduino programmer.

Set the Serial port (usually looks like /dev/tty.usbserial-A70048pF). Write down the serial port address for future reference.

Download, open and hit the "play" button to compile the code (download below). Upload the code to your Arduino.

Unplug the Arduino from your computer. Switch the jumper back to battery power and put the Xbee shield back on.
