Day 1 and my first error

Getting Started
1

Hi,
I am so gonna "abuse"(read use) this forum. :wink:
I finally got a working electron to practice on. Installed VS and Particle bench. Now when I run a clean program
// setup() runs once, when the device is first turned on.
void setup() {
// Put initialization like pinMode and begin functions here.
}
// loop() runs over and over again, as quickly as it can execute.
void loop() {
// The core of your code will likely live here.
}

I get the following error: HTTP error 400 from https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/Test - The access token was not found
How do I fix this?

Second question is there a tutorial for absolute beginners I can work through. I wanna do MyPlant-Informer - Hackster.io as my first project but I need at least have to understand the basics of connecting and choosing the correct IO etc.

Welcome! Happy to have you here.

You'll need to create an access token to get rid of that error, here are some docs that explain the different methods..

There are a ton of good tutorials on hackster but for your first project I suggest checking out our Getting Started section.

Have fun, let me know if you have any other questions!
