3. Configuració inicial

Follow these steps to prepare your Arduino Plug and Make Kit for its first use:

1. Desempaquetar components: Carefully remove all items from the kit packaging. Verify that all listed components are present.
2. Muntar la base: Attach the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi board to the Modulino base using the provided screws and nuts. Ensure the board is securely fastened.
3. Connect Modulino Nodes: Select the desired Modulino nodes for your project. Connect them to the Modulino base using the Qwiic cables. The plug-and-play design ensures correct orientation.
4. Instal·lació de programari: Download and install the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) from the official Arduino weblloc (arduino.cc/en/software). This software is essential for writing and uploading code to your Arduino board.
5. Connexió a l'ordinador: Use the supplied USB-C cable to connect your Arduino UNO R4 WiFi board to your computer. The board should power on, and your computer may attempt to install drivers.
6. First Program (Sketch): Open the Arduino IDE. Select the correct board (Arduino UNO R4 WiFi) and port from the "Tools" menu. Load an example sketch (e.g., "Blink" from "File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink") and upload it to the board to confirm basic functionality.
