-
-Want to download a .zip file? In your web browser, go to https://github.com/Intel®-iot-devkit/how-to-code-samples and click the **Download ZIP** button at the lower right. Once the .zip file is downloaded, uncompress it, and then use the files in the directory for this example.
-
-## Adding the program to Intel® XDK IoT Edition
-
-In Intel® XDK IoT Edition, select **Import Your Node.js Project**:
-
-
-
-On the **New Project** screen, click on the folder icon:
-
-
-
-Navigate to the directory where the example project exists and select it:
-
-
-
-Choose a name for the project and click on the **Create** button. Then click on the **Continue** button to finish creating your project:
-
-
-
-You need to connect to your Intel® Edison board from your computer to send code to it.
-
-
-
-Click the **IoT Device** menu at the bottom left. If your Intel® Edison board is automatically recognized, select it.
-
-
-
-Otherwise, select **Add Manual Connection**.
-In the **Address** field, type `192.168.2.15`.
-In the **Port** field, type `58888`.
-Click **Connect** to save your connection.
-
-### Installing the program manually on the Intel® Edison board
-
-Alternatively, you can set up the code manually on the Intel® Edison board.
-
-Clone the **How-To Code Samples** repository to your Intel® Edison board after you establish an SSH connection to it, as follows:
-
- $ git clone https://github.com/Intel®-iot-devkit/how-to-code-samples.git
-
-Then, navigate to the directory with this example.
-
-To install Git\* on the Intel® Edison board (if you don’t have it yet), establish an SSH connection to the board and run the following command:
-
- $ opkg install git
-
### Connecting the Grove\* sensors
-

You need to have a Grove\* Shield connected to an Arduino\* compatible breakout board to plug all the Grove devices into the Grove Shield. Make sure you have the tiny VCC switch on the Grove Shield set to **5V**.
-You need to power the Intel® Edison board with the external power adapter that comes with your starter kit, or substitute it with an external 12V 1.5A power supply. You can also use an external battery, such as a 5V USB battery.
