This project is a clone of the [Windows

|
|
|
uploader](https://pxt.microbit.org/uploader), but for OS X. Once launched,
|
2016-09-14 20:33:11 +02:00
|
|
|
the app runs in your menu bar and will automatically deploy any HEX files to
|
|
|
|
|
your `micro:bit`. Like the Windows version, it is compatible with any browser
|
2016-10-20 01:49:05 +02:00
|
|
|
that can run [pxt.microbit.org](http://pxt.microbit.org).

## Install the built version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest `.zip` release from the `Release` directory
|
|
|
|
|
2. Unzip it
|
|
|
|
|

## Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build the project you'll need a copy of OS X 10.11 or higher and Xcode 8 or
|
|
|
|
|
higher (you may be able to build on earlier OSes or versions of Xcode, but this
|
|
|
|
|
remains untested). Once you have a development environment set up, just build
|
|
|
|
|
and run `Microbit Uploader.xcodeproj`.
