Step 8Install the software
Download Arduino developer's kit from arduino.cc and install it on the PC.
Your Arduino should come with bootloader already installed.
Connect the cable between Arduino and your PC: your Arduino willbe seen as a serial port. You'll need to set Arduino model and serial port to cennct to from the Tools menu.
If haven't done so already download Arduino and Processing sketches herebelow and save them to a directory.
Run Processing and load Prossing.pde : Processing will suggest to create a repository aptly named to save it in, just say OK.
Click the arrow on top left to run the program ("the sketch") and after a few seconds a clockface will show up on the screen showing PC's time of day.
Run Arduino dev kit and load Arduino.pde : Arduino will suggest the same as for Processing, again click OK.
Now, at the hours and half hours the bell should play. You may need to bend and twist the clappers steel wire to suit the distance and position relative to the bell. In case use a two pliers not to stress the joining point of the steel wire with the relay's anchor.
