Make 00 - Maker Journal | ** Check if you need to install programs. ** Download and install the Fritzing and Arduino programs. These are very useful tools for designing, documenting and programming your robot. [ These programs are free. However, the developers encourage donations so they can continue to work on these projects ]. |
