The Adafruit_BluefruitLE library used in this guide is deprecated in favor of the Adafruit_Blinka_bleio library. See this guide for more information: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-ble-libraries-on-any-computer
This script will run on a macOS system. It will automatically enable bluetooth and connect to an arduino BLE controller. You will need to have installed the necessary package in the macOS BLE setup page, have created an Adafruit.io account and update line #10 of the code below with 'YOUR ADAFRUIT IO KEY'. Please keep the single quotes ' ' around your key.
