Datasheet
Once your LEDs are all green, you should see a CPLAYBOOT drive appear in your drive list in your file explorer.
We are now ready to compile our blinky code and download it to our board!
Step 2: Compile and Download
Let's first verify that our code compiles properly in MakeCode.
MakeCode has a built-in simulator that re-loads and re-runs code when restarted. This is an easy way to both ensure
that our code compiles and simulate it before moving it onto the board. The refresh button re-loads the simulator with
your latest version of block code.
If your board is working in the simulator, it's time to download it to your actual board! Click the "Download" button. It
will generate a .uf2 file and download it to your computer (UF2 (https://adafru.it/vPE) is a file format designed to flash
If you receive a "we could not run this project" error, please check over your code for errors.
