Assuming you have already gone through the WipperSnapper Setup page and connected your board(s) to WipperSnapper, navigate to the WipperSnapper board list. You should see your newly connected MagTag board listed here.
If you do not see your MagTag listed - go back to the WipperSnapper Setup Page and make sure its registered with Adafruit.io
On the device page, quickly check that your device is online and is running the latest version of the WipperSnapper firmware.
The device tile on the left indicates the version number of the firmware running on the connected board.
- If the firmware version is green with a checkmark - continue with this guide.
- If the firmware version is red with an "X" - update to the latest WipperSnapper firmware on your board before continuing.
Adding Components
From the MagTag device page, click the Auto-Config button, which will be used to automatically set up all of the various buttons, LEDs, and sensors built into the MagTag.
On the pop-up, select Magic Config to have Adafruit IO do all of the heavy lifting.
Even though this project will only use Buttons A, B, C, and the E-Ink display, you can just leave everything checked. This will set up all of the built-in components. This way they will be ready to go for any future updates to this project.
Your MagTag should all be set up and configured.
You can do a quick test to confirm it is all working as it should by pressing any of the front facing buttons. The corresponding button component should instantly react.
The next step sets up Adafruit IO Actions to get all of this to work.
