 ## Guides
 
 We recommend checking out the following guides to get started with various coding frameworks:
-- [Arduino / C++ setup (default setup)]() - the default installation using the built-in code editor and an Arduino / ESP32 board.
-- [Python setup]() - set up of a manual device to run on a PC / Linux system such as Raspberry Pi.
-- [MicroPython setup]() - setup of MicroPython on a select number of supported boards.
-- [JavaScript / node.js setup]() - setup of JavaScript using node.js, perfect for integrating your front-end projects with the Arduino Cloud.

 1. First, let's attach the device we want to use, by clicking the **"Select Device"** button in the **"Associated Devices"** section to the right. 
 2. let's create a new variable, call it `test`, and select it to be a `boolean` type and with a **read/write** permission.
 3. finally, configure your network in the **Network** section. Here you will enter your Wi-Fi® credentials, and if you are using an ESP32 based board, you need to enter the secret key here. 
 
 All the above configurations have now been generated into a set of files that can be accessed in the **Sketch** tab.
