Step 1 of 6

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.

Turn on the Debug switch at the top of the Console. This tutorial uses print() to show you what is happening, and Debug keeps the connection open so you can see it.

This tutorial uses the onboard time-of-flight distance sensor, the light sensor, and the SHT40 temperature/humidity sensor — all already built into the board.
