NOTE: We tag releases when they are stable. The latest version (on master) is not guaranteed to be stable.

See releases to find a stable release.

OPTION A: For less stable "edge" version:

git clone  https://github.com/FarmBot/farmbot-arduino-firmware

OPTION B: For stable release 1.0:

git clone -b 'alpha-1.0' --single-branch  https://github.com/FarmBot/farmbot-arduino-firmware

To flash the firmware onto the device, run this:

cd farmbot-arduino-firmware
ino build
ino upload

IMPORTANT

Farmbot will NOT move until the configuration has been approved. To approve manually, send 'F22 P2 V1 Q0'

To move, use the command 'G00 X0 Y0 Z0 Q0' where you type in the coordinates just after X, Y and Z.
