TiLDA MK4/Run Code: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:48, 18 September 2018

Firstly, identify the serial device (should be a COM port that only shows when you plug the badge in):

Alternatively in PowerShell:

Get-WMIObject Win32_SerialPort | Select-Object DeviceID,Description

Then open PuTTY, enter the COM port found above, 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).

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.
