From install to first program

Three steps to start coding.

  1. 01

    Install a beta

    Use Apple TestFlight on iPad, or the invited-only Google Play internal test on Android.

  2. 02

    Provision a supported board

    Use the browser installer once with the exact firmware profile that matches your board.

  3. 03

    Connect over BLE

    Open PyBLE, select the nearby board, and edit, run, and inspect MicroPython without a USB cable.

PyBLE requires compatible PBLE/1 agent firmware. A board running stock MicroPython is not automatically supported.
