Quickstart

From parts to AirPlay in three steps

The short version - a full written guide is coming soon. This covers what you need to get arply running.

  1. 1

    Flash the firmware

    Plug the board in over USB and flash it straight from your browser - no software to install.

  2. 2

    Join it to Wi‑Fi

    Plug arply into USB power and it starts its own network, arply setup. Connect to it - a setup page opens automatically, or open arply.local yourself. From there, connect it to your Wi‑Fi, give it a name, and configure it to your liking.

  3. 3

    Find it in AirPlay

    It shows up in the AirPlay menu on any iPhone, iPad, or Mac on the same network.
