Guides¶

Start at the top if you have a board and nothing running on it yet. The rest of the pages are here for when you have a specific question or a specific symptom.

• Start here goes from a board still in its packaging to your own code running on it, on your own wifi: putting a runtime on the board, registering it, making a project, and deploying.
• Installing libraries is the full matrix: circup and the bundle on CircuitPython, mip on MicroPython, pip on CPython, the pre-compiled .mpy packages, and switching between the stable and experimental channels.
• Questions people ask covers why a board freezes on the network, whether any of this uses async, how the same code runs on CircuitPython and MicroPython, and what a library costs in flash.
• Troubleshooting starts from the error text, the hang, or the missing drive: a board that will not show up, WiFi that will not connect, TLS that fails, a deploy that is refused, memory that runs out.
• Wiring WiFi credentials shows how a network name and password reach a board without living in your code or your git history.

The contributing pages further down the menu are for changing ChuMicro itself rather than using it.

Library documentation lives on its own pages, one per library, from the documentation home.
