The goal in this lab will be to setup and get familiar with a program that mimics an Arduino Uno. The software is only runnable on Windows, so users of Mac and Linux will need to download a Windows 7 virtual machine. If you run into any issues please post your questions on Piazza under the “Lab” tab rather than emailing me.

 

 Step 1a: Windows 7 VM download for Mac OS

The iso file and its key are on the school’s user server. The files can be found under the path “/nobackup/faculty/cs341”.

Method 1 (VMware Fusion)

1. Run “scp username@users.cs.umb.edu:/nobackup/faculty/cs341/* .”

2. Open VMware and follow the prompts to add a new machine

3. provide the .iso file and the key in the .txt file when prompted

4. this link provides step by step instructions for Mac installing Windows

5. The Virtual Machine will need to start up and restart a few times to set itself up

Method 2 (VirtualBox)

1. download VirtualBox if you don’t already have it

2. Run “scp username@users.cs.umb.edu:/nobackup/faculty/cs341/* .”

3. Open VirtualBox and follow the prompts to add a new machine

4. This YouTube video does a step-by-step breakdown of the download process. You can start at 3:00 because we are providing the .iso file

5. provide the .iso file and the key in the .txt file when prompted

6. The Virtual Machine will need to start up and restart a few times to set itself up

 

At this point you should be able to startup the VM and access the internet via internet explorer. Next, we need to get the Arduino simulator software. We have found that you cannot download the software while inside the VM, nor download it on your host computer and email it. The instructions below are the simplest method,

Method 1 (Drag and Drop)

We have not been able to test this on a Mac but we believe it will work

1. On the host computer’s finder navigate to UnoArduSimV2.7.1 (you should have gotten it from the scp command earlier)

2. Drag the folder onto the Windows 7 VM’s desktop

3. If this doesn’t work try method 2
