Halloween Tutorial 1
We are using the Itsy Bitsy M0 Express from Adafruit.
Mu ("Moo") is a nice IDE used to edit the code and debug.
- First, plug the board in a open Mu. Load main.py from the CIRCUITPY drive. Open the serial monitor.
- Second, go into REPL mode and communicate with the board. Practice entering (CTRL-c) and exiting (CTRL-D) REPL.
- Third, make a local copy of main.py, in case you ever want to see the original examples again.
- Forth, replace the contents of main.py with the content from this example: Main.txt
