/* Arlo-No-Surprise-Maneuvers.ino Run this before ever turning on power to the Arlo's motors to prevent any unexpected motions. */ void setup() // Setup function { tone(4, 3000, 2000); // Piezospeaker beep Serial.begin(9600); // Start terminal serial port Serial.print("Your Arlo will stay still."); // Message } void loop() {} // Nothing for main loop
