# Uploading from Safari for Mac
|
|
|
|
While you're writing and testing your programs, you'll mostly be [running them
|
|
in the simulator](/device/simulator), but once you've finished your program you
|
|
can **compile** it and run it on your micro:bit.
|
|
|
|
The basic steps are:
|
|
|
|
1. Connect your micro:bit to your computer via USB
|
|
2. Click **Download** and download the `.hex` file
|
|
3. Copy the `.hex` file from your computer onto the micro:bit drive
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
You need the following things to transfer and run a script on your micro:bit:
|
|
|
|
* A-Male to Micro USB cable to connect your computer to your micro:bit. This is
|
|
the same cable that is commonly used to connect a smart phone to a computer.
|
|
* A PC running Windows 7 or later, or a Mac running OS X 10.6 or later
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Connect your micro:bit to your computer
|
|
|
|
First, connect the micro:bit:
|
|
|
|
1. Connect the small end of the USB cable to the micro USB port on your micro:bit.
|
|
|
|
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your computer.
|
|
|
|
Your computer should recognise your micro:bit as a new drive. On computers
|
|
running Windows, `MICROBIT` appears as a drive under Devices and drives. On a Mac
|
|
it appears as a new drive under Devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Download your program
|
|
|
|
1. Open your project on @homeurl@
|
|
2. Click **Download**
|
|
3. When prompted, choose to **save** the compiled file onto your computer. The
|
|
prompt will be different depending on which browser you are using, or
|
|
whether you are using a Windows computer or a Mac
|
|
|
|
When you select **Download** in Safari a file called `Unknown` will be
|
|
downloaded into your Downloads folder. Open your Downloads folder and drag and
|
|
drop the file onto your `MICROBIT` drive, under Devices:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Transfer the file to your micro:bit
|
|
|
|
* Once you've found the folder containing your `.hex` file, drag and drop it
|
|
onto your `MICROBIT` drive
|
|
* The LED on the back of your micro:bit flashes during the transfer (which
|
|
should only take a few seconds).
|
|
* Once transferred, the code will run automatically on your micro:bit. To rerun
|
|
your program, press the reset button on the back of your micro:bit. The reset
|
|
button automatically runs the newest file on the micro:bit.
|
|
|
|
By copying the script onto the `MICROBIT` drive, you have programmed it into the
|
|
flash memory on the micro:bit, which means even after you unplug the micro:bit,
|
|
your program will still run if the micro:bit is powered by battery.
