CR Package Readme File.

Install Max Package Instructions:
Once the cr package is downloaded, 
1. Unzip it in any location (prefered: /Documents/Max 7/Packages).
2. Open Max (or Restart Max).
3. By default, Max uploads all packages placed in /Documents/Max 7/Packages. 
    If you decide to place your package in any location other than the default, then you need to add this location to your Max search path:
    Im Max, Open file browser window: File -> show file browser.
    In the file browser window, Press the + button (at the bottom left corner) ->add files to search path -> locate and select the cr folder you unzipped.
    (Note: this step is not necessary if you've placed your package under /Documents/Max 7/Packages)


Board Preparations:
1. Open Arduino.
2. Open Sketch File -> Examples -> Firmata -> StandardFirmata.
3. Upload the Sketch to Your UNO Board*. Make sure no errors in the console (Arduino window).

* You may need to set the board and port first: 
Tools -> Board -> Arduino/Genuino Uno
Tools -> Port -> (choose the correct port)

Done.

Usage Instructions:
1. Try first the overview patcher: overview.maxpat .
2. Try the example patchers under /examples. They have comments to help you understand how to use the new objects in the cr package.
3. Help pages, Reference pages and Example Patchers are available in the cr package to help you getting started. 



Arduino Library for Max (and Firmata)
-------------------------------------
This library allows you to control an Arduino board from Max without writing code for the Arduino. Instead, you upload a standard firmware (program) to the board and communicate with it using the library. The firmware is called Firmata, and is included in the Arduino software. The corresponding Max library can be downloaded below.

Library for Max v0.0.2: latest release (Updated 1 Feb. 2018)
http://robolab.cse.unsw.edu.au:4443/interaction-interface/max-arduino-interface

Instructions

Unzip the library and copy the "cr" folder into the "Packages" sub-folder of your "/Documents/Max 7" Folder. (If there isn't a "Packages" sub-folder, create one.)
Run Arduino, open the Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata sketch, and upload it to the Arduino board.
