 +**Prep for Class**
 +
 +Install the Arduino software (IDE) on your computer or test that you can use the new Web Editor for Arduino. Upload the Blink sketch. See [[http://​adventuresinarduinobook.com/​the-adventures/​adventure-1-setting-up-your-arduino/​|this tutorial]] for guidance on installing the IDE or [[https://​www.arduino.cc/​en/​Guide/​HomePage|this page]] for info about both the IDE and Web Editor. Doesn’t matter whether an Uno, Lilypad or some other Arduino board.

 +Prepare a pressure or stretch sensor.
 +
 +Have a multimeter handy.
