2. Now, you'll need to download, if you have not already done so, the Arduino IDE
designed to work with the FLORA. You can download it from learn.adafruit.com/
getting-started-with-flora/download-software .
3. After you have done this, you'll need to download the library from github.com/
adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel .
4. Install this into the library directory of your Adafruit Arduino IDE.
5. Now, bring up a simple example program by navigating to Examples | Ada-
fruit_Neopixel | strandtest .

Upload this program, and your NeoPixel ring should start displaying various colors. Now
that the ring is working, let's add a digital compass to the project. Here are the steps:

1. You'll need to connect the digital compass to the FLORA. The following are the
connections:

FLORA pin LSM303

3.3 V 3 V

GND Po

SDA SDA

SCL SCL

2. Now that you have made the connections, you'll need to download the library that
supports the LSM303 device from github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LSM303DLHC .
3. You'll also need to download and install Adafruit's sensor library from git-
hub.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor .
4. When you have installed these, upload the digital compass example program by
navigating to Examples | Adafruit_LSM303DLHC | magsensor . When you
open the Serial Monitor tab, you should see the following screenshot:
