Getting started with UPER on MacOS

• Open up a terminal and enter ls /dev/tty.usbmodem*.
• Connect the UPER board to your linux machine using USB cable.
• Type ls /dev/tty.usbmodem* again and you should see two new entries.

The easiest way to start working with UPER is by using UPER Python API, which is a part of IoTPy.

First of all if you haven't already done this, download and install Python ¹⁾.

Then download IoTPy API and save it in the directory in which you are going to work.

Next, in the same directory in which you extracted the IoTPy API create a blinky.py file and save the following code:

from time import sleep
 
from IoTPy.pyuper.ioboard import IoBoard
from IoTPy.pyuper.gpio import GPIO
 
with IoBoard() as uper, uper.get_pin(GPIO, 27) as red_led:
    while True:
        print "LED ON"
        red_led.write(0)
        sleep(0.5)
 
        print "LED OFF"
        red_led.write(1)
        sleep(0.5)

Finally you can launch your program by executing python blinky.py command.
