+There's various ways you can now access the device, including over WiFi once configured. I highly recommend <code>rshell</code> which provides ability to copy and move files as well as directly write and debug code using REPL. If you don't pass any arguments it will automatically attempt to connect, if you have multiple devices you can also specify the connection parameters. Here the built in USB/Serial interface connected via <code>D+/D-</code> is being used.

+Welcome to rshell. Use Control-D (or the exit command) to exit rshell.

+Once launched, any running code may be halted, entering <code>repl</code> will give an interactive Micropython prompt. Entering <code>Ctrl+D</code> will do a soft reset and any code configured to automatically start such as <code>main.py</code> will then run and you will see any output such as from <code>print()</code> in the terminal.
