With your serial program open (PuTTY, screen, picocom, etc) you may see a blank screen with a flashing cursor. Press Enter and you should be presented with a MicroPython prompt, i.e. {{fname|>>>}}. Let’s make sure it is working with the obligatory test:

<nowiki>>>> print("hello WiPy!")

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">

hello WiPy!</nowiki>

>>> print("hello WiPy!")

hello WiPy!

</syntaxhighlight>

In the above, you should not type in the {{fname|>>>}} characters. They are there to indicate that you should type the text after it at the prompt. In the end, once you have entered the text {{fname|print("hello WiPy!")}} and pressed Enter, the output on your screen should look like it does above.
