Downloading Before anything can be programmed into the board, the IC software must be downloaded so that we can communicate with the board through a printer or modem port.

Before anything can be programmed into the board, the IC software must be downloaded so that we can communicate with the board through a printer or modem port.
Direct Communication
Our first test was to type 2 + 3 into the control window. Once return is pressed, IC downloads the data onto the board, computes the answer and returns it to the control window.
Using Standard Output
The board also has an LCD display which enables us to print two lines of data to the screen.
Libraries 
Included in the IC software are libraries with pre-programmed functions that enable us to control the sensors and the motors, as well as other functions, such as playing music.
