# Assemble the hardware

## Step 1

- Attach the micro:bit to the Ring:bit expansion board using the short flat head screws.

## Step 2

- Use the longer flat head screws to fasten the seven-hole beam to the corresponding screw holes on the XGO.

## Step 3

- Mount the Ring:bit expansion board with the micro:bit installed on the seven-hole beam using the long pins.

## Step 4

-  Connect the DuPont cable reserved by XGO to the corresponding port of the Ring:bit, among which the black DuPont cable is connected to the G port, and the yellow DuPont cable and the blue DuPont cable are connected to the No. 1 and No. 2 ports. Select the appropriate port number.

### Start Program

The programming of XGO is done on the [Makecode](https://makecode.microbit.org/#) platform; the Makecode platform can use graphical programming, as well as python code programming and JavaScript code programming;
