|
|
|
|
In this section, we will explain to you how to connect your device to Pybytes by flashing Pybytes library manually.
|
|
|
|
{% hint style="info" %}
|
|
From firmware 1.16.x onwards all Pycom devices come with Pybytes library build-in `/frozen` folder. That means that you can add your device quickly without the need of flashing Pybytes library manually. [Click here for more information.](quick.md)
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Download your Pybytes Library
|
|

|
|
|
|
3. On your device's page click on settings tab;
|
|
|
|
4. Click on the button _Download_ at Pybytes library;
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
2. Extract download Pybytes library and open extracted folder with Atom.
|
|
3. Get your device serial port: in Pymakr plugin click on _More_ > _get serial ports_
|
|

|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
{
|
|
"address": "PASTE_YOUR_SERIAL_PORT_HERE",
|
|
"username": "micro",
|
|
"password": "python",
|
|
"sync_folder": "flash"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Checkout your `flash/pybytes_config.json` file. It will be pre-filled with your information from Pybytes
|
|
|
|
Like deviceToken or WiFi credentials. You can change e.g. your WiFy password here.
|
|
|
|

|
|
