Get started with your Code Car

1) Unbox and Plug in your Board

Your Code Car comes with a retractable USB cable. Extend the cable by pulling from both ends at the same time. The striped sticker on the cable should align with the USB stripes on the Code Car. When your Code Car is plugged in and powered on, it will have a solid green light on. Watch this video for more help.

2) Upload a test Program to your Code Car

Hit the ‘Upload Your Code’ button in the green bar below to upload.

When the code has uploaded successfully, you’ll see a big “Success!” message on the screen and you’ll hear a short rising tone on your Code Car and all the lights will come on. Don’t worry about understanding the code right now, that’s what the projects are for. Watch the next video to take a tour of the code editor.

void setup(){ pinMode(4,OUTPUT); pinMode(5,OUTPUT); pinMode(6,OUTPUT); pinMode(7,OUTPUT); pinMode(2,OUTPUT); for(int i=4;i<8;i++){ digitalWrite(i,HIGH); tone(2,i*100); delay(80); } noTone(2); } void loop(){}
