Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

provisioning

Getting the settings a device needs (like Wi-Fi credentials) onto it after it's built, without editing its code.

Provisioning delivers per-installation settings -- Wi-Fi credentials, broker address, identity -- to a device in the field over a SoftAP portal, BLE, serial or a factory process, and stores them in non-volatile storage.

Examples

  • Instead of compiling YOUR_WIFI_SSID into the sketch, provisioning puts the SSID, passphrase and broker address onto each board after it is built.

  • A board can be provisioned through a SoftAP setup portal, by BLE from a phone app, or over the serial cable.
