# First Steps
|
||
|
||
## Introduction @unplugged
|
||
|
||
### 1) Connecting
|
||
|
||
Connect your mini to your computer via a micro USB cable or Bluetooth. Macs, PCs, Chromebooks, Linux systems, Smartphones and Tablets are supported.
|
||
|
||
Your Calliope mini will show up on your computer as a drive called 'MINI'.
|
||
|
||
Open your favourite browser and head to our website and select Editor in the main navigation.
|
||
|
||
For example drag and drop some blocks and try your program on the Simulator within the editor.
|
||
|
||
Click the Download button in the editor. This will download a 'hex' file, which is a compact format of your program that your mini can read. Once the file has been downloaded, just copy it to your Calliope mini just like copying a file to a USB stick.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 2) Power it Up
|
||
|
||
The Calliope mini requires a power source to work. You can either connect your Calliope mini directly to a computer using a Micro USB cable or you can power it using a battery pack.
|
||
Here are the instructions on how to connect the battery pack to your Calliope mini:
|
||
|
||
The supplied battery pack requires two AAA batteries.
|
||
|
||
Carefully insert the small white plastic connector from the battery pack into the board’s battery socket.
|
||
|
||
Be careful to insure that the ridge on the plug is facing upwards.
|
||
|
||
If the plug slides easily into the socket then you are attaching it correctly. Otherwise, turn the plug round and re-insert it into the socket. Slide it to "on“ and your Calliope mini is powered by the batteries.
|
||
|
||
