If you have never used the Adafruit Feather with the Arduino IDE, there are a few things that you will need to do before you can program the hardware.

Install the latest version of the IDE software using the following guide:

Add support for NeoPixel, Adafruit Sensors and LSM303 Libraries.

  1. From the Arduino IDE, click the Sketch menu.
  2. Move to Include Library.
  3. Click on Manage Libraries...
  4. When the new window opens, search for NeoPixel
  5. Click the listing for Adafruit NeoPixel, then click Install or Update.
  6. Once finished, search for Adafruit LSM303.
  7. Click and install the listing for Adafruit LSM303DLHC.
  8. Now search for Adafruit Unified Sensor.
  9. Scroll to the listing for Adafruit Unified Sensor, this may be at the bottom of the listings, and install.

Now you should be ready to download the code.

Be sure that you have the Adafruit Feather 32u4 board selected under the Tools menu.
