### Setup Arduino IDE

Launch the Arduino IDE and select the newly available board variant from the menu bar under **Tools > Board > CANBus Triple**

### Add required libraries

[About Arduino Libraries](http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries)

To install the CAN Library select this menu option in the Arduino IDE:
Sketch > Import Library > Add Library...
**Sketch > Import Library > Add Library...**

Arduino will display a file browser. Navigate to the folder containing the CANBus Triple Firmware, and select the 'CANBus' folder inside of the 'library' folder within. Then repeat this process and select the 'QueueArray' folder. Both of these libraries are required to build the firmware code.

You can also simply copy the 'CANBus' and 'QueueArray' folders to the 'libraries' folder that the Arduino IDE creates in your Documents folder. That is all the Arduino IDE does when you use the previously outlined method.

You should now be able to open the Arduino Sketch file named 'CANBusTriple.ino' and select the upload button to compile and flash it onto the CANBus Triple hardware.
You should now be able to open the base sketch by selecting **File > Sketchbook > hardware > CANBus-Triple > avr > CANBusTriple** and clicking the upload button to compile and flash it onto the CANBus Triple hardware.
