Relay Logic Firmware

The repo contains all the firmware codes for the project and instructions on how to load them to the hardware

What's fisrt needed

1. Set up the IDE, for this application you will need to down the Arduino ide here if you don't have it already installed for your distributions
2. Once downloaded and proceed to the next instructions

Download the Files 🔽

3. Download all the files on the Code🔽 on this platform, In your downloads you will get the a folder 📁 relay_logic_firmware -master this will have all the codes and related libraries.

Burning bootload to the MCU 🔥

Note: DO THIS ON A WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM!!!

4. Do this on older version of arduino particularly version 1.6.0 grab the software here
5. Once you have the setup to burn the bootloader please follow this tutorial here
6. You need to have a functional Arduino Nano with you - just buy one locally as it's used in the process of bootloading
