== Through the REPL ==
* Todo: Please write how to do that on different operating systems
* todo: how to use a REPL

'''Important''': once connected to the serial port, you'll only see output the badge sends (usually none). Hit Ctrl+C to exit from the current process and get back the REPL.

=== Windows/WSL ===
==== Identify serial device ====
The serial device should be a COM port that only shows when you plug the badge in, e.g. COM4:
# Open Computer Management (compmgmt.msc)
# Navigate to Device Manager
# Expand Ports (COM & LPT)

Alternatively in PowerShell:

Get-WMIObject Win32_SerialPort | select DeviceID,Description

==== Connect to identified device ====
Open PuTTY, enter the COM port found above, e.g. COM4, select Serial, and click Open.

Alternatively in WSL:

sudo screen /dev/ttyS{n}

where {n} is the numeric part of the COM port (e.g. /dev/ttyS4 for COM4). Use Ctrl+A, D to disconnect.

== Use the "mass storage" app ==
* Only works on OSX at present (2nd Sept 2018)
* easy to do
* make sure to safely eject every time
* has a tendency to corrupt the filesystem - link to reset instructions
* hard to debug errors
* todo: add more information

== Use Mk4-Apps tilda_tools ==
* Probably most convenient, but a bit more involved:
* You can use "./tilda_tools run <file.py>" to run code without copying anything, but if you want to make sure you have all your libraries updated use "./tilda_tools app my_app" instead.
