CircuitPython

CircuitPython (https://adafru.it/tB7) is a derivative of MicroPython (https://adafru.it/BeZ) designed to simplify

experimentation and education on low-cost microcontrollers. It makes it easier than ever to get prototyping by

requiring no upfront desktop software downloads. Simply copy and edit files on the CIRCUITPY drive to iterate.

Download and save it to your desktop (or wherever is

handy).

Plug your Itsy nRF52840 into your computer using a

known-good USB cable.

A lot of people end up using charge-only USB cables

and it is very frustrating! So make sure you have a USB

cable you know is good for data sync.

In the image, the Reset button is indicated by the

magenta arrow, and the BTLE status LED is indicated by

the green arrow.

Double-click the Reset button on your board (magenta

arrow), and you will see the BTLE LED (green arrow) will

pulse quickly then slowly blue. If the DotStar LED turns

red, check the USB cable, try another USB port, etc.

If double-clicking doesn't work the first time, try again.

Sometimes it can take a few tries to get the rhythm right!
