Candle manager start screen

  1. Install the add-on using the Candle store.
  2. Select the Candle Manager in the main menu.
  3. Plug in your Arduino via USB when asked to do so.
  4. Select which sketch you want to upload from the list. You can add your own sketches. You should create the Candle Receiver first.
  5. Optional: change settings of the sketch if you want.
  6. Click 'next' and wait for the upload process to complete.
  7. You can now see and check the serial output from your new Arduino device.
  8. Once you have created the Candle receiver, keep it plugged in and install/start the MySensors addons. That will enable wireless communication with the devices you create after that.
  9. Done
