    Hey, you can download the DuinoPack in order to get the Multiplo brains running with Arduino. DuinoPack is an standard Arduino IDE (we will update to the last Arduino IDE version soon) to which we added libraries to control DC motors, read special sensor easily, etc.. We still didn't upload this environment to the official GitHub repository, but in the meanwhile you can get an Alpha version from http://www.robotgroup.com.ar/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=2&Itemid=6&lang=es

    See the links for documentation. They will be in English soon and also available in ODT (LibreOffice) format in case you want to do translations, use it as teaching material or modify the documentation to adapt it to your own needs.

    Rudi - Chrome thinks the link you give above contains malware, just thought you should know.

    While I am here perhaps you can give me some pointers, I cannot get Arduino to work properly. I tried using the 'RemoteControlRobot' source example, it compiles okay (after I added '#include <Arduino.h>') but then takes ages uploading and finally gives this error:

    Found programmer: Id = "B§Ö"; type = 
        Software Version = . ; Hardware Version = .
    avrdude: error: buffered memory access not supported. Maybe it isn't
    a butterfly/AVR109 but a AVR910 device?

    This is on a Windows 7 64 bit installation. I think the problem is with COM port mapping, only COM1 shows up and I am not convinced it is mapped to the Duinobot USB port (COM1 is still there when I unplug the USB).
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? Minibloq works fine incidentally.

    Thanks,
    Giles

    Sorry, please ignore, I got the latest pack from:

    Then chose Duinobot.v1.x.HID and that works fine.
