7. Connect the USB programmer into the computer.

8. Create a folder for the Open-Storm board code to be stored. In this case, it indicates that we are working with an autosampler.

9. The code is stored on GitHub here. Click the "Clone or download" button. Copy the address.

10. Open the Git Bash application and type "cd" followed by the address of the folder you created to save the code in. In this case "~/Documents/psoc/perfect-cell-autosampler".

11. Type "git clone" followed by the address copied from git hub here.

12. Inside your folder, open the "perfect-cell" folder then open the "perfect-cell.cydsn" folder.

13. Obtain the "config.h" file from an administrator at the Real-Time Water Systems Lab. Then copy the file and paste it in the "perfect-cell.cydsn" file.

You will need the free program PSoC to program the cell. You can download it here.

14. Then in the perfect-cell.cydsn" file, open the "perfect-cell" PSoC file. Once the PSoC Creator program launches, begin by building the cell. Go to: Build>Build perfect-cell. After it's done building you should not see any errors. Warnings are okay.

15. Now it is time to program the cell! There are two ways to do this:

(1) Press the "Program" button" or;

(2) Click "Debug" then select "Program"

16. PSOC will begin flashing the code. You can track the progress by watching the "programming - XX of 1024 blocks".
