The first time you start Mu, you will be prompted to select your 'mode' - you can always change your mind later. For now please select Adafruit! The current mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the window, next to the "gear" icon. If the mode says "Microbit" or something else, click on that and then choose "Adafruit" in the dialog box that appears. |

Mu attempts to auto-detect your board, so please plug in your CircuitPython device and make sure it shows up as a CIRCUITPY drive before starting Mu |
Now you're ready to code! Lets keep going....
