WebUSB

WebUSB is an emerging web standard that allows to access USB devices from web pages. It allows for a one-click download without installing any additional app or software! It also allows to receive data from the @boardname@.

Support

Chrome 65+ for Android, Chrome OS, Linux, macOS and Windows 10.

Upgrade your Firmware

Make sure that your @boardname@ is running version 0248 or above of the firmware. Upgrading is as easy as dragging a file and it takes a few seconds to get it done.

Check out the instructions to check and upgrade your @boardname@.

Pair your device

To get started with WebUSB,

connect your @boardname@ to your computer with the microUSB cable
open a script
open the gearwheel menu and select Pair device
click on the Pair device button and select your @boardname@ in the list

One-click Download

Once your @boardname@ is paired, MakeCode will use WebUSB to transfer the code without having to drag and drop. Happy coding!

Console output

MakeCode will be able to "listen" to your @boardname@ and display the console output, generated by console.log for example.
