There are different options to connect your arduino board to Sugar (trough sugar-capable activities)

Squeak

Thanks to the great work found on Tecnodacta

We can download an squeak project and install it on our Sugar. This script can help in the process.

#/bin/bash
echo "Downloading.."
echo ""
curl -o Arduino.zip  http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira/Arduino.7.zip
unzip Arduino.zip
echo "Executing.."
echo ""
cd Arduino.7/
./Arduino.sh.

Note that on an XO laptop you have to tweak some your Arduino.sh script in these or similar ways

#!/bin/sh
APP=`dirname $0`
#
EXE="$APP/Contents/Linux686"
RES="$APP/Contents/Resources"

exec "/usr/bin/squeak" \

-plugins "$EXE" \ -encoding latin1 \ -vm-display-X11 \ "$RES/Arduino.2.image"

Turtle Art

The code needed is located at (Thnks to Sayamindu Dasgupta)

• http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/turtleart/repos/arduino-support

This uses the same firmata protocol that the arduino-squeak connection uses.
