Before getting started

Install and solder the 5 header, supplied with the 4Duino. Refer to 4Duino Datasheet for soldering instructions. (Link to datasheet). Headers are optional but recommended unless using direct wires or alternate headers (not supplied).

Let’s get started

REQUIREMENTS:Download and Install 4D Systems own signed Microsoft driver for the 4Duino, which is available for download from 4Duino product page on the 4D Systems website.

Add the 4Duino hardware support to the Arduino environment (Compulsory)

1) Open Arduino IDE

2) Install the 4D Systems JSON files into the Arduino IDE preferences.

The 4Duino is capable of being programmed from the Arduino IDE, or from the Workshop4 IDE. The Workshop4 IDE provides additional benefits when programming the 4Dunio, such as advanced graphics options, which are not available when using the Arduino IDE.
