Getting Started

What You Need

• Software: Arduino IDE Click here to Download Arduino IDE from Arduino®
• Hardware:
  • USB programming requires a micro USB cable only.
  • Bluetooth wireless programming requires a USB BLE Link

USB Programming

1. Unscrew the screw and open the USB programming port.
2. Turn on Vortex power switch, and plug in the Micro usb cable, it will install the driver automatically if you have installed Arduino IDE. If not, you can find it in the driver file in Arduino IDE folder-->Drivers folder.
3. There is a switch close to the USB port, make sure the trigger is close to the USB side. This is MP3 switch, we'll teach you how to add new song in the following chapter.
4. Open your Arduino IDE, select "Arduino UNO" and right "COM port" in Arduino IDE, now you can enjoy coding.

Bluetooth Wireless Programming

BLE wireless programming could let you get rid of the mess USB cable, and make a free real-time debugging.

1. Plug USB BLE Link to your PC (Compatible with Windows/MAC/Linux), and it will install the driver automatically if you have installed Arduino IDE. If not, you can find it in the driver file in Arduino IDE folder-->Drivers folder.
2. Open your Arduino IDE, select "Arduino UNO" and right "COM port" in Arduino IDE, now you can enjoy coding.
