PnPduino Connection Via Laptop or Android Phone
PnPduino Connection Via Laptop or Android Phone
Before anything else, download and install Tunerstudio and Arduino IDE to your laptop. Tunerstudio is
free but the paid version gives a lot of features like Autotune and Composite Logger. Arduino IDE installs
the USB driver for Arduino Mega if Windows does not install it properly. You can use RealDash from
Google Playstore for displaying parameters via bluetooth.
Take note that an Arduino Mega with a CH340 has a different USB Driver and reset control does not work
with this. PnPduino uses only 16u2.
