Overview

We will be combining our fish mouths with the Arduino to create a robotic fish for this activity!

Part 1: Materials

In addition to your Arduino materials and fish mouth, you will need:

  1. Hot glue gun
  2. Cutting Mat
  3. Servo Motor
  4. Jumper Wires
  5. Floral Wire
  6. Pencil/pen

Arduino Part 1: Installation

Max Vanatta

Welcome to Arduino!

The first step in learning Arduino is to download the software.  This can be found at arduino.cc.  There are the step by step instructions in the images above.  

It is recommended to make sure that the install has worked by opening the arduino app on your computer.  In our next tutorial, we will go through how to use this interface and connect it to your physical Arduino device.

NOTE

If you have a chromebook, you will not be able to use this method and instead will need to create an account on Arduino Create to gain access to the web editor version.
