prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
Show me how to wire up this TraceApp Arduino library so my robot follows a red object tracked by the phone app.
prompt 2
Explain how the TraceApp library passes color-tracking coordinates from the phone to the Arduino board.
prompt 3
Adapt this library so a servo-controlled camera gimbal centers on a blue marker detected by the phone.
prompt 4
Walk me through setting up this Arduino library since the README doesn't include installation instructions.
