I tried two different Windows computers, and a couple of M5StickCs, to establish a data connection. During that time, I flashed the firmware, at least twice, and according to the product manual, I was doing things correctly. The next option was the web interface, which was a breeze because it had the latest firmware. The downside to this option is that it supposes I have access to a computer and the controller. For upsides, I can load a program to the controller without being in the same hemisphere, I free up one of the ports on my computer, and the web interface runs in a browser, so I should be able to program with mobile devices.
When I was connected, I made a quick blinkenlight project and added some obvious text to the screen. I had the option to use Blockly or Python programming languages. I used Blockly, which was time-consuming, but self-explanatory, and I wanted to learn about it without immediately resorting to Python, which I have used before.
