Installing the Software for ScratchDuino.Lab
Windows OS Family
To work successfully with ScratchDuino.Lab under Windows, it is necessary to install at least the visual programming environment for Scratch and Arduino UNO driver. In addition, advanced users might want to install along with the Arduino IDE the Arduino developer’s environment as well.

The software can be obtained from:
¾ the CD, shipped with ScratchDuino.Lab;
¾ the file server of the project — http://files.scratchduino.ru/;
¾ the official developers website.
Installation from the CD or from the File Server of the Project
How to install Scratch: run the installation file ../windows/Scratchduino.exe from CD or or download and run the installation file from the file server —
http://files.scratchduino.ru/Software/Windows/Scratchduino.exe
The Installation Wizard will ask you to choose a language — choose English, then press Ок, Next, and Install. In a few seconds, two icons will appear at the desktop (or in the application list of the Start button, depending on individual setup)— Scratch and Scratchduino Robot (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1. The icons to appear.
To operate Scratchduino.Lab, the Scratch software is intended! To launch, click the Cat icon.
How to install the driver: run the executable../windows/ScratchDuino_
drivers.exe from CD or download it from the file server —
http://files.scratchduino.ru/Software/Windows/ScratchDuino_drivers.exe.
and run.
In the dialog boxes of the Installation Wizard, click Yes, then Next, Install, and Finish.
Fig. 2. Dialog boxes of Installation Wizard.
A note for users: You will not find any Arduino IDE software either on the CD or on the file server of the project. This is intentional, as with Arduino IDE installed it is possible to reprogram the pre-programmed Arduino UNO cartridge. To avoid confusions, we do not recommend Arduino IDE installation for
inexperienced users. Advanced users can install the Arduino IDE software from the developer’s website (see the next section).
How to Install the Software from the Developer’s Website
1. Download the installer for Scratch 1.4 from the developer’s website: http://download.scratch.mit.edu/ScratchInstaller1.4.exe.
