ARDX Arduino Manual	Link Here	The printed manual in Solarbotics ARDX kits often leaves out parts of the circuit diagrams. This PDF version is better.
Arduino IDE (Arduino Software)	Official Download Page Lab Version: Arduino 1.8.15 (release notes): Windows Mac OS X Linux: Check your distro repository or the Official Download page for the latest version available to you. source (github)	These labs were last tested with Arduino IDE version 1.8.16, released in September 2021. We don't expect any problems with Arduino IDE 1.8.19, but please report to us if something seems wrong. I plan to experiment and perhaps teach with the 2.0 IDE, but the teaching videos are based on 1.8.13 and some details will not match very well. Feel free to try newer Arduino IDEs, like the Web Editor or the 2.0 Beta. If you have trouble with a lab while using one of these, contact your lab instructor with the number of the version you were using. Do not expect an immediate resolution to problems that come from changes to the IDE, but we will try our best.
Fritzing	Official Download Page (minimum $5 donation required) Free copies for CS207: Development version (CD548) for Windows 10 64-bit (use with caution!) Release 0.94 for MacOS High Sierra, Mojave Release 0.94 for Various Linux Distros(at bottom of page)	Fritzing was used to make circuit diagrams and breadboard layouts for the lab notes. Some custom parts were designed for the lab notes, but since they are not compatible with newer versions of Fritzing we can't share them. You may be asked to use it to produce similar diagrams and layouts for assignments.
