Install Arduino Software
The Sanguino uses the Arduino and adds some small modifications to support our particular board.
First, you'll need to install the Arduino software.
If you already have it installed, then skip this step.
Install Sanguino Software
Visit the Sanguino Software download page and download the latest version of the Sanguino software.
Copy Folders
Unzip the Sanguino software file. It contains some folders that need to be copied into the Arduino software directory.
- copy sanguino-software-1.x/cores/sanguino to arduino-00xx/hardware/cores/sanguino
- copy sanguino-software-1.x/bootloaders/atmega644p to arduino-00xx/hardware/bootloaders/atmega644p
- copy all the folders in sanguino-software-1.x/libraries/ to arduino-00xx/hardware/libraries/ overwriting the existing libraries.
Edit boards.txt
Open the Arduino file located at arduino-00xx/hardware/boards.txt and append the text from sanguino-software-1.x/boards.txt to the end of the arduino boards.txt file.
Restart Arduino
Restart (or start) your Arduino host software. From the Tools -> Board menu, select the Sanguino board. You will now be able to use your Sanguino board just as you would a normal Arduino board.
Debian Specific Instructions
You need to upgrade to a newer version of avr-gcc that supports the new atmega644P chip. There are instructions on how to do this here: blog.coldtobi.de
Gentoo AMD64 Specific Instructions
See http://www.thenautilus.net/HW/makerbot/arduino-on-gentoo/ for one approach.
