Installation of software/hardware specifications:

Hardware Requirements

 A suitable PC or Laptop
 Xblock Robot (Provided by the client) with Arduino based microcontroller
Software Requirements

 Arduino (IDE) 1.8.9


 Operating system: Windows XP and up

Arduino 1.8.9
The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) is installed in system. The Arduino software makes
it easy to write necessary codes and upload it to the microcontroller. It can run on Windows,
Max OS X and Linux [1].
