Thingstudio

Thingstudio is a node-and-wire visual programming environment, in the spirit of Node-RED, whose output runs directly on a microcontroller. It runs on your computer and opens its editor in your web browser. Drag nodes onto a canvas, wire them together, and deploy the flow to a connected board. The board then runs the flow on its own — no host machine needed afterward.

This guide covers using the editor to build and deploy flows. If you're writing a new node type instead of using the ones that already exist, see Writing custom nodes.

• Installing MicroPython — getting MicroPython onto a new board.
• Getting started — installing, starting, connecting a board.
• Blink an LED — your first flow, step by step.
• Canvas basics — the palette, wiring, config nodes.
• Flow lifecycle — saving, deploying, checking status.
• WiFi provisioning — a device learning its WiFi credentials on its own.
• Debugging & troubleshooting — reading errors, known limitations.
• Node reference — what each built-in node does.
