3. Displaying Your Sketch

Clicking "Create Project" brings you to the Web Compiler IDE window. Click the "gr_sketch.cpp" file under the Explore menu. The source code for the file will appear in the right window. This is the sample code that will drive the LED on GR-PEACH.

4. Build the Code

Since the code shown on the screen is a working sample, you don't need to debug the code. To build the code, click the "Execute Build" icon on the right navigation menu shown below. This should show you "The Compilation Is Complete" pop-up.

Note that it takes a little time to build the first time due to compilation of all of the source files.

When the build is OK, the pop-up screen shows "Make process completed" at the bottom of screen. Click the "Close" button.

5. Download the Sketch

When the build is successfully completed, the Web Compiler creates a binary file "peach_sketch.bin" under the .CPP file. Move the mouse over the bin file and right click - this will bring up the pop-up menu. Then, click the "Download" menu.
