In this tutorial we went through how to setup the Portenta Machine Control with the Arduino IDE lab, learning how to connect the board to the program through Modbus, activating the hardware license of your product, and creating a simple sketch with one variable that went compiled and downloaded inside the board. Finally, we learned how to see the values of the variables in real-time using the **Watch** window. | ||
