The FLORA version of this project uses free software called the Arduino IDE. This is available for PC and Mac and involves some download and possible configuration to set up the environment needed to program the FLORA itself.
If you are new to Arduino, you may want to review the following guides:
Load the following sketch in the Adafruit Arduino IDE. Requires the color sensor library and NeoPixel library.
