Visual Cue	Narration
Slide 1: Welcome slide	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installation of LDmicro on Linux.
Slide 2: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will see how to install, LDmicro AVRDUDE Drivers for USBasp programmer
Slide 3: System Requirements	To record this tutorial I am using: Ubuntu Linux 16.04 operating system USBasp programmer
Slide 4a: What is LDmicro?	What is LDmicro? LDmicro is an open source software. It is used to draw a ladder diagram or ladder logic to program PLCs.
Slide 4b: What is LDmicro?	We can simulate this ladder diagram or ladder logic in real time on our computer. It can also generate native code for certain PIC16 and Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
	Now we’ll see how to install LDmicro.
OpenPLC website	To download the installation files, open the web browser of your choice. Make sure you’ve an active internet connection. Go to the website https://openplc.fossee.in
OpenPLC website	In the top menu bar, click on the Resources link. Click on User Downloads link present under the Downloads tab.
OpenPLC website <point to various links>	Here we will find links to download LDmicro installation files for different versions of Ubuntu Linux.
OpenPLC website Click LDmicro for Linux(deb) >> Click Save File >> Click OK	Click on appropriate link depending upon your operating system’s version. I will click on LDmicro for Ubuntu 16.04(deb) link . A dialog box opens. Click on Save File, and then click OK button.
Point to the .deb file in the downloads folder	In the Downloads folder, the downloaded .deb file is available. Note that, the extension for the downloaded file for Linux will be (.deb).
Open the terminal. Press CTRL+ALT+T	Now let us open the Terminal by pressing CTRL +ALT + T keys simultaneously.
Terminal Type >> cd Downloads	Go to the Downloads folder by typing cd <space> Downloads and press ‘Enter’.
Terminal Type >> ls	Type ls to see the LDmicro package name Press Enter.
Highlight the LDmicro version	Here, in my system, it shows LDMicro-2.2.4-Linux.deb The name may vary in future.
Type >> sudo dpkg -i LDMicro-2.2.4-Linux.deb	To do the installation, type the command sudo dpkg -i LDMicro-2.2.4-Linux.deb and press Enter
Type >> <password>	Type the admin password if prompted and press Enter.
	Now, LDmicro software is installed.
Type >> ldmicro	To make sure, type LDMicro in the terminal and press Enter.
LDmicro interface	LDMicro interface opens. This ensures that LDmicro is installed successfully.
	Next we’ll see how to install AVRDUDE.
Slide 5: What is AVRDUDE?	What is AVRDUDE? AVRDUDE stands for AVR Downloader Uploader. It is a tool for downloading or uploading the on-chip memories of AVR microcontrollers.
Switch back to terminal	To install AVRDUDE, switch back to terminal.
Type sudo apt-get install avrdude Type y Press ENTER	Type, sudo apt <hyphen> get install avrdude and press ENTER. It will ask for your permission to continue the installation. Type ‘y’ and press Enter. Wait until the installation is completed.
Type avrdude Highlight the version	To check the installed version, type avrdude and press ENTER. Here, you can find version number at the bottom of the terminal.
	Next, we will see about USBasp programmer
Slide 6: (picture of USBasp programmer, USBasp_Programmer.jpg)	This is a picture of a USBasp programmer
Slide 7: Why USBasp drivers?	Why USBasp drivers? A USBasp programmer is used to program the controller on OpenPLC main board. AVRDUDE will not recognize the USBasp, if drivers are not installed.
	Now, we’ll see how to install USBasp drivers. In Linux OS, the USBasp drivers are pre-installed.
Switch to the terminal	Switch back to the terminal.
Terminal Type >>lsusb	Type lsusb and press Enter. This will give the information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
	The information you get on the terminal may not be same as mine.
Connect USBasp to an USB port of Computer	Now, connect a USBasp programmer to one of the USB ports of your computer.
Terminal Type >> ‘lsusb’	Now again, in the terminal type ‘lsusb’ and press Enter.
Terminal (Highlight to that extra line, in particular the word libusb)	We can observe there is an extra line of information of the bus and the device connected to it. We can find a keyword libusb in the new line which indicates that USBasp programmer is connected. This indicates that the drivers are installed successfully.
	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
Slide 8: Summary In this tutorial, we learnt to install LDmicro AVRDUDE Drivers for USBasp programmer	In this tutorial, we learnt to install LDmicro AVRDUDE and Drivers for USBasp programmer
