Working with Arduino

This chapter contains the following sections. Please read as needed:

Setting Up Development Environment​

1. Installation and Configuration​

  • For setting up the Arduino environment and basic usage, please refer to this R4 link; R3 comes pre-installed by default.
  • After setting up the environment, connect the sensor and download the demo package.

2. Hardware Configuration​

  • The IO level of the Arduino development board must be 3.3V. If using a 5V IO level, level conversion is required; otherwise, the sensor may be damaged.
  • When using Waveshare R3/R4, set the following jumper caps to 3.3V before use.
