This tests that you can compile and flash your Gopherbot with TinyGo code, by blinking the built-in LED.

Plug your Circuit Playground Express into your computer's USB port.
Press the "RESET" button on the board two times to get the Circuit Playground Express board ready to receive code. You have to do this every time you want to put new code on to the board.
The Circuit Playground Express board will appear to your computer like a USB drive. Determine the path to the board, for example on Linux it will be something like /media/[USERNAME]/[NAME OF THE BOARD].
Build your TinyGo program to the board in .uf2 format using this command:

tinygo build -size short -o /media/yourname/CPLAYBOOT/flash.uf2 -target=circuitplay-express ./learn/step0/main.go

The Circuit Playground Express board should restart and then begin running your program. This program just causes the small LED labelled "D13" on the Circuit Playground Express board to start blinking on and off.
