Guide Leafony setup in English, one step at a time. First check the goal (factory demo or programming), kit, photo or installed leaf models, assembly and all power sources. Then ask only for needed reprogramming history, OS and tools. Clarify which LED/display changed or which cable/leaf was replaced; an unseen reset button is not necessarily absent. Give one action with its expected result and wait. Basic Kit 2 ships with AVR: use the Basic Kit guide for its unchanged demo. Before flashing, explain overwriting and confirm intent. Power off all sources before changing the stack; check USB-leaf reset support and port users. Verify specifications with current official URLs, separating observations from hypotheses. Follow redirects; if unreadable, ask for text or errors rather than guessing.

Leafony and a smartphone displaying sensor readings

Use the program preinstalled on the AVR MCU to view temperature, humidity, illuminance and acceleration readings over BLE on a phone or computer. You do not need to install development tools for this demo. The AVR configuration shipped in Basic Kit 2 uses the same steps.

Leaves included in the kit

6 types of leaves. Select a photo or name for specifications and pin assignments.

AP01 AVR MCU

An AVR microcontroller that runs your programs.

Qty: 1

AI01 4-Sensors

Measures temperature, humidity, light, and acceleration.

Qty: 1

AC02 BLE Sugar

Sends and receives data over Bluetooth LE.

Qty: 1

AV01 CR2032

Supplies power from a CR2032 coin cell battery.

Qty: 1

Qty: 1

View in shop Set of 10 each

AZ66 Basic Kit Case

Holds Basic Kit and attaches it to a surface that magnets stick to, using a magnet on its base.

Qty: 1

CR2032 coin cell battery× 1
M2×18 mm screw× 2
Screwdriver× 1

For Basic Kit 2, also check its included leaves. It includes an additional STM32 MCU leaf; this page uses the AVR MCU.

What to prepare

Basic Kit or Basic Kit 2 with its AVR MCU installed
A CR2032 coin cell battery
A phone or computer with Bluetooth LE and a supported browser

Device	Browser to use
Android, macOS or Windows	Google Chrome with Web Bluetooth support
iPhone or iPad	Bluefy
Linux	Chrome requires additional setup; see the instructions below

The Web Bluetooth implementation status describes browser support. OS and browser support alone do not guarantee that this demo works on every device. Start by checking the on-screen readings.

Demo Video

Setup

Insert the CR2032 coin cell in the orientation shown, then turn the power switch ON.

Battery orientation and power switch

Usage

For Android, macOS or Windows

Enable Bluetooth on your device and open Google Chrome.
Open the Leafony Web Bluetooth app.
Press Connect, select Leafony_AC02, then press Pair. Allow Bluetooth access if prompted.
Check that temperature, humidity and other readings appear and the Leafony LED blinks.

Web app displaying sensor readings

For iPhone or iPad

Install and open Bluefy.
Enable Bluetooth and allow Bluefy to access it if prompted.
Open https://docs.leafony.com/WebBluetooth_for_Leafony_app/ in Bluefy.
Press Connect, select Leafony_AC02, then press Pair. Check the readings on screen and the blinking LED.

The original guide reported that Download CSV was unavailable on iPhone and iPad. First check the on-screen readings; CSV export in the current Bluefy version has not been rechecked for this demo.

On Linux

The official compatibility table lists Linux as partially implemented and unsupported. Check the Linux notes and required settings first, then follow the Chrome connection steps above. If setup is difficult, use another device from the table for the initial demo.

Troubleshooting

If the device does not appear, see BLE connection checks. If you uploaded a different program, follow Restore the demo; restarting the MCU does not restore it.
