Getting Started

Board to dashboard in 5 minutes.

Install the Plynx app

Download Plynx from the App Store. Create a project and copy the PLYNX_AUTH_TOKEN for your board.

Use plynx.cc:9443 for SSL or your private edge address.

Prepare your sketch

Install the compatible device library from the Arduino Library Manager. Plynx keeps the firmware-side flow intact while the account layer for web login remains separate.

Board-to-dashboard path

Upload sketch → board connects to Plynx server → project appears online in app → drop widgets and bind to virtual pins → live bidirectional data.

Boot the board

Upload the sketch and open the serial monitor. As soon as the device reaches the server, the project in the app will show it online.

Build the first control surface

Open edit mode in the app, drop a Button widget onto the grid, bind it to V0, then press play. Hardware state will sync in real time back into the same dashboard.
