Getting Started
From unboxing to your first running project in a few minutes.
What you need
A board, a couple of modules, a charger and your phone. Every module fits every board, so start small and add to it later. Sizes, power and app versions are in the tech specs.
Set up the board
Plug the board into the USB-C charger. The status light turns purple: it is on and paused.
Set your modules on any slots, at any angle. The magnets pull them into place.
Hold the button for a second to turn Bluetooth on. The Bluetooth light turns blue.
Open the Aillo app and connect to the board. If you have set a PIN, the app asks for it.
Your first project
A project says what each module does when another one changes. Draw it once in the app, send it to the board, and the board runs it on its own.
The board only plays when the modules on it match the layout in the app. If it won't start, check that each module sits in the slot the app expects.
In the app, create a new project.
Add your modules from the library and place them as they sit on the board.
Draw a connection from an output to an input — the button to the light.
Send the project to the board.
Press the board's button to play. The status light turns green.
That's it. The project stays on the board, so it keeps working after you close the app or unplug it.
