How do I connect to a NovaPi and upload micropython

#1

Hello, I have a school competition soon, I am supposed to make a robot complete some tasks. I want to get started now. How do I connect and upload to the board I have? Its a NovaPI. I have it plugged in to my PC and it blinks a blue LED. But I don’t know how to first have the device on mblock (if thats even the right software) and then how to upload micropython on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! Thank you for the help. I got it to work. I just need one more thing, how can I code it with python or micropython? I prefer coding and uploading rather than using blocks.

You can code it using Python my clicking the “Python” tab in the upper-left of mBlock’s code area. (It has Blocks/Python).

For me I cannot upload to the board though. If I code in python and upload nothing happens. Its like it only reads the blocks not the python.

Are you still in Python mode when you upload the code?
