Overview

NTK Getting Started Steps

NTK is an authoring system that runs as a stand-alone application or in the web browser. To get started, you need to install NTK, which handles the visual authoring environment as well as communicating with your hardware.

  1. Install & Run NTK – Get NTK running on your computer or embedded device
  2. Configure Arduino – Some hardware (like the Arduino) needs to be set up
  3. Hook up Sensors/Actuators – To connect with the real world
  4. Author in NTK – Use a web browser to create a project with the widgets
  5. Widget Documentation – Once you’ve got NTK running, use widgets to create a project
  6. Running on Mobile – If you want to see and use NTK on your mobile device, in a browser enter the local IP address of your computer running NTK followed by the port 9001. For example, put in the browser URL area – 192.168.178.52:9001 (where you change the IP to your local network IP address for your machine) For more details and a demo on mobile, see this video:
  7. Developer Info – If you want to extend and improve NTK and can code in HTML/CSS/Javascript
