Installation

Both ways of interacting with the SMSDK require that FTDI drivers be installed to allow you to communicate with your motes & manager via USB. Most modern OSes come with FTDI drivers pre-installed and will configure automatically when you plug in a device.  If this doesn't happen, see the Troubleshooting section of the SmartMesh IP Tools guide - it has installation instructions for Windows, Linux, and OS X.
