2. Communicating with the Bela board

Plug the mini USB cable into the Bela board and the other end into your computer. The board does not require any drivers to start working. After around 20 seconds you should see the LEDs on the board start to pulse like a heartbeat. This means that you are ready to start programming the board and running projects.
