Tutorials

Tutorials are lessons. You follow them from start to finish, and by the end you've built something that works. You don't need to understand every detail yet — just follow along and enjoy watching it work. 🎉

Do them in order if you're new:

1. Blink an LED — write and run your first program. The classic "hello world" of hardware.
2. See your board come alive — open the Board View and watch Snakie draw your board and light up the pins your code uses.
3. Plot a sensor live — read a sensor and draw a moving graph of its value using Snakie's instruments.
4. Build your first robot — snap 3-D parts together in the Robot View and pose your robot.

Before you start

You'll need Snakie installed and (for most tutorials) a microcontroller board plugged in. See Install Snakie and Your first steps.

Once you've done a few tutorials and want to do a specific job, head to the How-to guides.
