#Who this repository is for
These are the libraries for the Apitronics Bee, which are built on top of the Xmegaduino IDE. You can either download the ready made Xmegaduino IDEs from our website that will have everything already configured for you. TODO: put links here when they're ready
Or you can use this repository to set it up from scratch. This is particularly useful if you want to help in the development of this project since you will have everything easily linked up to GitHub.
#Setting up a development machine
##Download Xmegaduino IDE First you need to download the arduino-1.0.1-rx2-xmegaduino-beta4b. What's important here is that we are still using arduino-1.0.1 (1.5 isn't quite stable yet) but that you have a more recent toolchain than the beta4 release.
##Add in our libraries
(1)
In Mac/Linux:
Edit the boards.txt file in ~/arduino-1.0.1-rx2-xmegaduino-beta4b/hardware/xmegaduino/. Add the following at the top, bottom, middle, or anywhere really. For Mac, once Arduino is moved into Applications, boards.txt will be in /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/xmegaduino/.

In Windows: Skip this step
(2) In variants, create a soft link to the api directory in this repository.
In Mac/Linux:
ln -s ~/Bee/api ~/arduino-1.0.1-rx2-xmegaduino-beta4b/hardware/xmegaduino/variants/api
Note that we assumed that this repository and the Xmegaduino are both in your home directory. You might need to fix these paths.

(3) Open up the Xmegaduino IDE and go to: File-->Preferences and make the sketchbook location the sketches directory in this repository. Restart the IDE and all the libraries will be loaded.
Now you're good to go!
#Improvements to Think of
- changing sample rates (and other settings) remotely
- add automation to framework; how does it interact with sensors?
