This document provides an overview and getting started guide for Pinoccio, an open source software and hardware prototyping system based on Arduino and mesh networking. It describes Pinoccio's architecture which uses Node.js services, an easy UI, WiFi backpack, SD card, and Arduino components. It outlines including the necessary Pinoccio libraries, selecting the Scout board in the Arduino IDE, and debugging sketches using serial monitor or remote HQ debugging. The document also provides examples of a basic LED blinking sketch, using mesh networking and LWM messaging between nodes, and discusses some initial experiences with Pinoccio.

Installation
• Download Latest Arduino IDE, gcc 4.8.1, updated AVR
• Download Pinoccio Libraries
• Move hardware and libraries to Arduino IDE directories
• Tools menu: Board: Scout
• File, Sketchbook, libraries, pinoccio, peripherals, blinkRGB

7. VOTSH
My First Combined Sketch
• Blink The LEDs
• Give Time For ScoutScript and LWM
• Scout.setup();
• Scout.loop();

8. VOTSH
Mesh and Debugging
• LWM Messaging
• <scout 1>: mesh.send(2, “any-value“)
• <scout 2>: function event.message { if (arg(1) == 1) { led.red } }
• RPC coming soon
• Bootstrap Sketch using Arduino IDE, Serial Monitor

9. VOTSH
My First Experiences
• HQ Requires Good Connectivity, from the same Wifi network
• Use Arduino IDE Serial Monitor
• wifi.report();
• wifi.config("access point name", "access point password”)
• wifi.disassociate();
• See http://tinyurl.com/mpdqo95 to Associate Networks
• peep; Shows eeprom but not Pinoccio settings

10. HQ Remote Debugging

11. Bootstrap + Serial Monitor
