Installation

To install all the libraries for the microNode and the board files to be able to upload to the board. Just follow these instructions.

First make sure the latest version of the Arduino IDE is installed. For this guide I was using 1.8.5 .

Open the IDE and go to File -> preferences. A dialog box the same as below should popup.

To add the board files an aditional board manager URL needs to be added. The list of URL's are comma seperated. To get the board to work the two following URL's need to be added.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loranodes/arduino-core/master/package_loranodes_index.json
https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json

Once the URL's have been added press OK and close this window. Then go to Tools -> Board -> Board Manager. This should open another popup board manager window as shown below:

Search for and install these 2 boards.

LoRaNodes M0 Boards
Adafruit SAMD boards

Once these have been installed close the board manager. Then go to Tools -> Boards and select the microNode board.

This process also installs all the libraries for the hardware, the examples for these libraries are found under File -> examples.

For reference pages on how to use the libraries see the rest of this Wiki.

Any sketch can now be compiled and uploaded in the same manor as any other Arduino board. Just make sure you select the correct board and the Port which the board is connected to. If the IDE fails to upload to the board try pressing the reset button twice until the blue LED pulses to indicate it is in bootloader mode. Then try uploading to the board again.
