Hey guys, Pretty excited to start working on this project, but I need some help. I have everything now from the Bill of Materials list I have a Arduino Uno Clone with a v3 CNC shield. I am very new to Arduino and am quite confused on where to start with it... Could anyone explain like I am 5 years old on how/what exactly I am uploading to my Arduino? I have Arduino 1.8.19 installed, I have my Uno plugged in, Just need to know what to put in the code box to upload. I am currently printing my 3d Chameleon parts but am worried I wont be able to figure this out on my own, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I have searched, but all I am coming up with is how to upgrade the board people bought when it was available.(Using the uno as a programmer) Dose anyone know of a video I can watch to walk me through the prosses? What do I copy / paste to my Arduino from the Github? Thank again.. 😓

Once you have Arduino IDE open, the Uno selected, and the proper COM port you can download the entire folder from Github (Code button -> Download ZIP)
Unzip the file and open the "SelectorFirmwareMK4.ino" file.
In the Arduino IDE, install that Libraries:
Go to the folder where you unzipped the Github files, and within the SelectorFirmwareMk4 folder are some additional ZIP files (same folder as the .ino file). Install these 3 libraries using the Arduino IDE, one at a time. (ssd1306.zip, SSD1306Ascii.zip, SX1509_IO_Expander.zip)
You should then be able to load the program to your Arduino UNO if the COM port is set correctly.
