Install CircuitPython on MagTag
This is a quick summary of the official guide on how to install CircuitPython on a MagTag .
Load with UF2 Bootloader
This is the easiest option. If your MagTag has a black front it came with UF2 installed.
- Download the latest CircuitPython release
- Attach your MagTag to a computer
- Launch UF2 by double-clicking the Reset button (might take a few tries)
- If UF2 is installed you will see a new disk drive appear, called
MAGTAGBOOT
- Copy the UF2 file onto the
MAGTAGBOOT
drive
Your MagTag should auto-reset into CircuitPython
, or you may need to press reset. A CIRCUITPY
drive will appear. You did it!
Load with esptool
If you have an original MagTag (white front) you need to use esptool
. Check the official guide
for instructions.
