-
Use board as delivered. Push down boot button. While boot button is pushed, connect usb to computer. Release boot button. Upload the code. The code will not start right after download. Nothing will happen. Unplug the board and connect to usb again.The board will now boot the code. Unplug the board from USB to computer and connect to other power source like LiPO battery. Again the board will start the code. The computer is not needed again.
New code can be loaded to the board by going to step 1 or 2. Both will still work.
