Assembling FORCE

Software Instructions

1. Download Arduino IDE First, install the FORCE library from the Arduino IDE. This is done by searching for the FORCE library in the Arduino library manager and installing the latest version. Install Force only, the dependency libraries will be installed later on. The library manager is opened using Tools > Manage Libraries. You can explore the example programs by clicking File > Examples > Force.

2. Install relevant Arduino boards to run the Adalogger MO and Feather m4 You will also need to add the board being used, the AdaFruit Feather M4 Express. Tools > Board: > Board Manager > And then search and install AdaFruit SAMD Boards.
   Then select Tools > Board > AdaFruit Feather M4 Express. If the appropriate board is not selected there will be errors when compiling, most likely about the analog resolution.
