The Farmbot Arduino Firmware performs the following tasks:

• Physically controls the device by sending electrical pulses to the motor drivers, reading voltages from pins, and outputting voltages and data to the Universal Tool Mount
• Communicates with the Raspberry Pi over USB cable in order to receive commands and send back log and collected data.

Step 1: Install the Arduino Firmware

The FarmBot Arduino Firmware can be flashed onto the device using a standard Raspberry Pi or Linux desktop computer.

To install the firmware:

1. Connect the Arduino to the Raspberry Pi via USB cable.
