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.
