## Step 3: Add the Ploopy Trackball board definition to the Arduino IDE
In this step, you'll add the Ploopy Trackball board definition to your install of the Arduino IDE.
1. Visit the [Ploopy Trackball Github firmware page](https://github.com/ploopyco/mouse/tree/master/firmware) and download the entire `hardware/ploopy/avr` directory onto your computer.

2. Copy the `hardware/ploopy/avr` directory tree into your Arduino folder.
- On Windows machines, this could be somewhere like `C:\Program Files\Arduino` or `C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino`.
- If you're part of the Linux master race, look somewhere like `~/Arduino`.

## Step 5: Program the Ploopy Trackball
In this step, you'll use the Arduino Nano to program the Ploopy Trackball.

- *NOTE THAT* not all of the firmware versions will work on all of the boards!
- First, check to see what kind of main board you have. Look at the board for a revision number (the board containing the sensor, the one that lies flat, not the vertical one). The code should look something like "R1.00X", where X is some number.
- If that number is R1.004, R1.003 or, very rarely, R1.002, use the firmware in the ["r1.004" branch of the code](https://github.com/ploopyco/trackball/tree/r1.004).
