Following on from the Mac instructions, I have also set up MediaTek’s LinkIt™ ONE on a Window Machine,
Setup
- Download the MediaTek LinkIt SDK for Arduino Windows.
- Unzip the downloaded zip, right click on the installer “mediatek_linkit_sdk_(for_arduino)-1.1.05.exe” and “Run as administrator”
- Change the location on Screen two to the location of your Arduino IDE Install (in my case it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino)
- The last screen will ask you if you want to install The MediaTek USB drivers. Select yes and then continue.
- I found that the drivers in part 4 didn’t install correctly so grabbed the drivers from the Seed Studio IDE GitHub (Mirror Windows LinkIt ONE Drivers) and installed them again using that!
- reboot your machine
- Set the LinkiIt One switches as follows:
LinkIT ONE Switches - Program Mode – UART
MS: The program will not run in this mode, when you connect LinkIt ONE to your PC, you will find a 10M size usb-disk, you can put some file to it, and read it out via the code.
Uart: When you want to program the board, you should set this switch to Uart. - Power Switch – USB
BAT: Power with Li Battery. When you want to charge the battery, you should set to BAT and connect LinkIt ONE to PC as well.
USB: Power with USB, when there’s no battery insert and you want to program the board, you should set to USB. - SD/SPI Switch – SPI
SPI: When you want to use the extern SPI pins (D10 – D13), set to SPI
SD:If you had inserted a SD card and want to read it via code, you should set to SD. When you set to SD, D10-D13 will not available any more
- Program Mode – UART
- Now if you open Arduino IDE, you should be able to select the LinkIT ONE as a board, and two serial ports. Select the lowest numbered one.
- Open the blink example and upload it to your LinkIt ONE
Upload Blink.ino to the LinkIt ONE
Now to go back to the Mac, and see why I can’t get the uploading to work in the Arduino IDE.
