Example projects
The busy-tag GitHub organisation has small open-source projects that show Busy Tag in action. They are written in Python and talk to the device over USB, so they make good starting points for your own ideas.
note
These examples were written in 2024 for earlier firmware. They may need small changes for the current firmware; check the AT Command Manual when something does not work. For new work, a plugin or the library and CLI are usually the easier route.
