Step 5 - Load the software on your Arduino

This video from techydiy explains how to install the development environment (IDE) of Arduino. Furthermore, it explains how to load code from your computer on the Arduino. If you already programmed with Arduino, you could skip this video. The actual Arduino version may be newer than the version in this video, but the process should stay the same. We recommend the following available YouTube video.

Installing Additional Arduino Libraries

For the implementation of the logic we used four additional libaries. You need to install them to use the code properly. If you want to know how to install additional libraries: Guide: Installing Additional Arduino Libraries

  • QTRSensors
    • To enable an easy communication between the Arduino and the infrared sensors
  • SoftwareSerial
    • To communicate with the EMIC
  • Arduino-Timer
    • To loop through our process and coordinate the logic of the different queries
  • Avr/pgmspace
    • To store the variables which contain the phrases in the program memory
