Greetings. I am wondering if anyone patient enough with a new learner help me load an R2D2 sketch on to a Sparkfun Pro Micro. I am using OS X version of the Arduino IDE software and the sketches from THIS SITE: (the instructions and downloads are towards the bottom).
I think that my problem is that i'm putting the files in the wrong file directory for it to upload to the Arduino properly. Where should these files be located? When using the v1.3 sketch, it errors out because it cannot find the control file. I've tried different combinations and I can't seem to get it to work.
My problem is understanding those directions. Using OSX, in my Documents folder, I see a folder title "Arduino". In the "Arduino" folder, I see "libraries". Do I just put the two unzipped folders in the "libraries" folder?

No, not both. I agree the instructions are confusing.
I've crossed out the parts I think are confusing:
The TeecesControl folder is a library, and should go into your into a Library folder inside your Arduino sketch folder (i.e. the Library folder should end up next to the Teeces_CuriousMarc folder you'll create below, not in it).
The Teeces_CuriousMarc is the sketch that you need to open and download to the Arduino after you have configured it, the whole folder goes into your Arduino sketch folder.
It's probably better to use the "import library from zip file" option in the IDE menu to install the library.
