Introduction

The SparkFun Artemis is an amazing module. So much functionality packed into a tiny 10x15mm footprint! But what really makes it powerful is the ability to quickly write sketches and build projects using only Arduino code. However, for more industry oriented programmer, it is also compatible with Arm® Mbed™ OS. Whether you are using one of our boards that has the Artemis module pre-integrated or have your own, this tutorial will get you started with the Arduino IDE and familiarize you with the various interfaces of the Artemis module.
