Once plugged in, the CocoMake7 is working out of the box as we know it from other human interface devices such as computer mice and usb keyboards. However, the CocoMake7 programming interface allows the user to reprogram the device software (called firmware) and define what the touch inputs should do or trigger. This is accomplished with the well supported and ubiquitous arduino development environment. We have put a lot of effort in making the CocoMake7 board fully compatible with arduino.
