Clear the Arduino Sketch

Clear the Arduino’s sketch.

Let’s make sure to clear the sketch in the Arduino before turning Motors power on.  That way, some BOE Shield-Bot sketch that used to be in there won’t send your Arlo into unexpected maneuvers.

• Make sure the Arlo’s Motors power is off.
• Connect your board’s programming cable to your computer.
• Turn on the Arlo’s Main power.
• Set the BOE Shield’s power switch to 1.
• Open the No-Surprise-Maneuvers.ino sketch into your Arduino programming software.
• Run the sketch using your Arduino programming software’s Upload button.

/*
Arlo-No-Surprise-Maneuvers.ino
Run this before ever turning on power to the Arlo's motors to prevent any
unexpected motions.
