Overview
Mixly is an open-source graphical programming software designed to lower the barriers to hardware programming, making it especially suitable for maker education, IoT development, and beginners.
Microblue has developed a set of extension libraries based on Mixly to make programming easier!
Installing the Mixly extension library requires two steps (for flashing MicroPython firmware, please refer to previous articles):
- Use the ESP32.MPY-Jama software to upload the core library microblue.mpy
- Install the extension library microblue-mixly-esp32.zip in the Mixly software
Below are the specific operation steps
02
Uploading the Core Library
First, save the microblue.mpy file to a local folder on your computer, then download the ESP32-MPY-Jama software, open it, and upload this file to the ESP32 development board.
