 ## Usage
-After installation, you can use Arduino CLI to compile and upload sketches to your Arduino board. For example:
+
+### Using Make (Linux and Windows with Make installed)
+We've provided a Makefile to simplify the process of compiling and uploading sketches to your Arduino board. Here's how to use it:
+
+1. Generate the stimulation pattern, compile, and upload the sketch:
+   ```
+   make all
+   ```
+
+2. Only generate the stimulation pattern:
+   ```
+   make generate
+   ```
+
+3. Only compile the sketch:
+   ```
+   make compile
+   ```
+
+4. Only upload the compiled sketch:
+   ```
+   make upload
+   ```
+
+5. Clean the build files and generated pattern:
+   ```
+   make clean
+   ```
+
+You can specify a different port or board by using the PORT and BOARD variables:
+
+```
+make upload PORT=COM3 BOARD=arduino:avr:uno
+```
+
+The default board is set to Arduino Nano with old bootloader (atmega328old). To see all available options, run:
+
+```
+make help
+```
+
+### Using PowerShell Script (Windows without Make)
+For Windows users who don't have Make installed, we've provided a PowerShell script (build.ps1) that mimics the Makefile functionality. Here's how to use it:
+
+1. Generate the stimulation pattern, compile, and upload the sketch:
+   ```
+   .\build.ps1 all
+   ```
+
+2. Only generate the stimulation pattern:
+   ```
+   .\build.ps1 generate
+   ```
+
+3. Only compile the sketch:
+   ```
+   .\build.ps1 compile
+   ```
+
+4. Only upload the compiled sketch:
+   ```
+   .\build.ps1 upload
+   ```
+
+5. Clean the build files and generated pattern:
+   ```
+   .\build.ps1 clean
+   ```
+
+You can specify a different port or board by using the -PORT and -BOARD parameters:
+
+```
+.\build.ps1 upload -PORT COM3 -BOARD arduino:avr:uno
+```
+
+To see all available options, run:
+
+```
+.\build.ps1 help
+```
+
+## Manual Arduino CLI Usage
+If you prefer to use Arduino CLI directly, you can still use the following commands:
 
 ```
 arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:nano:cpu=atmega328old your_sketch.ino

+2. Upload this pattern to an Arduino board (using Arduino CLI, Makefile, or PowerShell script)
 3. The Arduino applies the stimulation pattern to the nano fiber sample (apply_stimulation.ino)
 4. Receive and decode the response data from the nano fiber reservoir (decode_serial_digit.py)
 5. Visualize the received data to interpret the reservoir's response (visualize_digit.py)
