Connect your board

Power on your Beaver Board — the OLED will show a PIN code. Click Connect in the toolbar, choose Connect via Bluetooth, and select your board. If it's your first time, enter the PIN shown on the screen.

This tutorial uses the HC-SR04 distance sensor, already wired to GP16 (TRIG) and GP17 (ECHO) — no extra connections needed.
