Select the board (SparkFun ESP32-C6 Qwiic Pocket or ESP32-C6 Dev Module until the Thing Plus is added to the espressif boards package) and Port and click "Upload". After uploading you should see the STAT LED on the board turn on full white, turn off, and then cycle through red, green, and blue repeatedly.

As of this writing, the Thing Plus ESP32-C6 is awaiting approval to be included in the alpha version of the ESP32 boards package (3.0.0-alpha2 currently) so it is *not* included in the alpha install but we're hoping it gets added very soon. We'll keep an eye out for the next update (whether it be to alpha or a full release of v3.0.0) and update this page once it is out.

Click "Ok" and then open the *Boards Manager* tool, search for "espressif ESP32" and install the latest alpha release (3.0.0-alpha2 or later). This install process may take some time so feel free to step away while it downloads and installs.

As mentioned above, the espressif ESP32 Arduino Boards package should soon include the Thing Plus - ESP32-C6. In the meantime, users can get most of the functionality from this board by selecting either the "SparkFun ESP32-C6 Qwiic Pocket" or the "ESP32C6 Dev Module". The Qwiic Pocket will have things like the Qwiic/I<sup>2</sup>C bus tied to the same pins as the Thing Plus.
