This document will walk through the steps to set up a programming environment if you want to load your own code.

You will need to install the Arduino IDE. Download it here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

Once you have the Arduino IDE installed and running we'll get the environment set up.

Before we do that, we'll cover how to get the device seen by your computer.

Depending on the device you have you may need to insert a paperclip and hold down a button or you will need to open the bottom, locate a small PCB wrapped in blue tape, and the press a black dot on the tape.

You will need to hold this reset button down while plugging the USB cable into your computer. Wait a few seconds after you plug it in and then release the button.

You should see a new drive appear on your computer. It will be named RPI-RP2.

The drive will contain two files. Ignore the files, do not delete or attmept to edit them.
