Program Macropad other than as USB drive

Post by NigelWGMajor »

I want to use Macropad as a training tool for a group at work, but for security reasons we are not able to access any USB drive that is not bitlocked. is it possible to upload code from the Arduino ide or VSCode or Mu using a serial protocol insetad? If so, how?
This is a show stopper ...

PS. Probably some of the participants will be on macs, others on Windows 10.

When uploading Arduino code to the MacroPad a USB mount should not be necessary as it is for CircuitPython.

Are you able to put the board into bootloader mode (boot button + reset) and upload code from the Arduino IDE? It is going through a port.
