Now, import the keyestudio library successfully.
You can use the same method to import the keyes_easy plug library.


Pay special attention to:
How to add the necessary libraries for complicated projects？
Sometimes we need to call the library when compiling the code, so how should we add the code libraries? Like IRremote.h
It is very simple. You can follow the instructions below.
To begin with, you can right-click Mixly icon to open the file location. Inside the Mixly directory, find the arduino-1.8.5 folder.

Open the arduino-1.8.5 folder, you should see the libraries folder.

Next, ready to play your amazing Mixly project!

Try Your First Mixly Project – Saying Hello World


Next, we will take our EASY Plug control board as an example:

Hookup Guide

Connect the control board to your computer via a micro USB cable.

You can directly drag the blocks out to make it.
Go to the “Control” , drag out the setup block.

Note:
In fact, we have provided you with Mixly file, so you can directly open the file.
Click Open to open your first program Hello World. Follow the steps below.

Displaying Hello World

Finally, upload the code successfully, open the monitor and set the baud rate to 9600, you should be able to see the Hello World is showed on the monitor.
Congrats! You make it !
