These instructions cover the software set up of a newly built Holoseat controllerThere are three pieces of software required to configure and use the Holoseat: the Arduino IDE, the Holoseat controller firmware, and the desktop configuration app.  The setup is presented in the following four major steps.

Note, these steps are for Windows (tested on Windows 7).  The process is similar on other platforms, but the desktop configuration app only runs on Windows for v0.3.  Future versions will support other platforms.
