 ====== Getting Started with Arduino IDE ======
-This guide shows how to make the first Arduino IDE upload and check digital I/O on every MPINO and MPAINO model. Read the model name on the product label and make sure it matches the board name below.
+This guide explains how to install Arduino IDE and the ILOGICS boards, upload the first program to an MPINO or MPAINO product, and check its digital I/O.
