A little help, if you need it.
My board doesn't show up.
Use a USB cable that carries data, not a charging-only cable. Connect directly to the computer and close any apps using the board.
Still missing? Hold BOOT while plugging in the board, then release it and try connecting again.
Which board should I use?
This installer is for the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3, the standard version with 8 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM. Other ESP32 boards aren't supported by this installer.
See the board ↗Can I do this on my iPhone?
Use Chrome or Edge on a computer for this installation. Once it's finished, the board works with your iPhone. You won't need the computer to run Handsy.
What happens to the firmware already on my board?
Installation replaces the board's current firmware. Back up anything you need before installing. It doesn't change anything on your computer or iPhone.
