Board

The board object provide the board specific properties which you are currently using.

Object: board

board.name

• <string>

The ID of the target board. ex) pico, ...

console.log(board.name); // e.g.) 'pico' for Raspberry Pi Pico.

board.uid

• <string>

The Uinque ID of the target board. ex) abcdefg, serial number of the board

Each board shall return different string value. So uid helps you identify a board.

console.log(board.uid); // e.g.) 'E6XXXXXXXXXXXXXX' for Raspberry Pi Pico.

For more properties, please check the page for each board.
