Once you plug your board in, you should see the small yellow LED on the back of your micro:bit light up and possibly
blink a few times. Then whatever existing program that was put on the micro:bit will start running. If this is your first
time plugging your micro:bit in, go ahead and play around with it a bit — push buttons, shake it, and you will get a bit
of an Easter egg.
Once your micro:bit boots up, check out your Finder if you are on a Mac, or your My Computer Drives if you are on
a PC. The micro:bit should show up as an external storage device with two files stored in it.
