Once you have gone through the HalloWing M4 quick start guide, you'll have the default "blue hazel" eye loaded and displaying. Feel free to customize the settings or graphics! Reference the HalloWing M4 learn guide to explore all the options.

Set Up HalloWing M4

Quick Start

Plug in your HalloWing M4 via a known good data+power USB cable.
Double press the reset button and wait for the NeoPixels to turn green.
The HALLOM4BOOT drive should show up on your computer.
Download the UF2 file below and drop it onto the root of the HALLOM4BOOT drive.

Use the touch pads to change the NeoPixel animations. There are four different programmed NeoPixel animations. Halloween color gradients, beating heart, breath, and rainbow. These will loop and repeat automatically.

Building from Source
