        <h1 class="postheading">Programming Instructions</h1>
        <p>
            In order to program your DaisyDriver, first determine whether it has been programmed before.
        </p>
        <p>
            This can be done by connecting the hardware module to a computer via USB and seeing if it is
            recognised as a USB device. If it is not recognised, then the module has not been programmed
            before and requires the bootloader to be loaded before the module can be programmed.
        </p>

        <hr>

        <h2>Burning the bootloader</h2>
        <ol>
            <li>Remove power to the module and disconnect it from any other devices.</li>
            <li>Connect the module to a computer via a programmer. Many choices of programmer are available,
                and two suggestions are given below.</li>
            <li>Open the Arduino IDE and go to the <b><i>tools</i></b> menu. From there, select your programmer from
                the <b><i>programmer</i></b> drop-down. Select the board as <b><i>Arduino/Genuino Micro</i></b> from the
                <b><i>Boards</i></b> menu and finish by selecting <b><i>burn bootloader</i></b>.</li>
            <li>Successful programming is indicated by the Arduino IDE.</li>
        </ol>

        <h2>Suggestions for programmers</h2>
        <p>Whilst there are many programmers available for the Arduino ecosystem, two programmers are
            recommended in particular due to their ease of use and availability, respectively.</p>
        <ol>
            <li>The <a href="https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-isp">Arduino ISP</a>, a dedicated programmer
                which is useful for cases where boards are programmed regularly.</li>
            <li>The <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP">Arduino as ISP</a>, a method
                to use standard Arduino boards as programmers.</li>
        </ol>

        <hr>

        <p>
            Once the bootloader is programmed onto the module, the module should be connected
            directly to power and connected to a computer via USB. It will then be recognised
            as a USB device, which can be programmed via the Arduino IDE.
        </p>
        <p>
            Before the program can be uploaded, its libraries must be installed. Do this by
            moving the folder <code>Arduino-SerialCommand-Fergboard</code> into Arduino's <i><b>libraries</b></i>
            folder. Once this has been done, load the file <code>fergboard_2v2.ino</code> into the Arduino IDE
            and program the board by clicking the <b><i>Upload</b></i> icon.
