 The **Arduino® Nesso N1** is an all-in-one enclosed development board. Based on the ESP32-C6 System on Chip (SoC), it integrates a suite of communication protocols, including 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi® 6, Bluetooth® 5.3 LE, 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee®), and long-range LoRa®. It also includes a 1.14" color touchscreen, buttons, and a built-in LiPo battery for immediate user interaction in portable applications.

 ## Installation
 
-The Nesso N1 can be programmed using the Arduino IDE or the Arduino Cloud Editor. To get started, you will need to install the appropriate board package.
+The Nesso N1 is programmed using the desktop Arduino IDE. To get started, you will need to install the appropriate board package.
 
 ### Arduino IDE
 
-To use the board in the Arduino IDE, you need to install the latest version of the **esp32 by Espressif Systems** package from the boards manager.
+To use the board in the Arduino IDE, you must install the latest version of the **esp32 by Espressif Systems** package. Support for the Nesso N1 requires version **3.3.3** or newer.
 
 1.  Open the Arduino IDE.
 2.  Navigate to **Boards Manager** (**Tools > Board > Boards Manager...**).
 3.  Search for **"esp32"** and find the package by **Espressif Systems**.
-4.  Click the **Install** button.
+4.  Click the **Install** (or **Update**) button.
 5.  Once installed, select **Arduino Nesso N1** from the **Tools > Board > esp32** menu.

 ### Arduino Cloud Editor
 
-The Arduino Cloud Editor is an online IDE that supports the Nesso N1 without requiring manual installation of the board package.
+Direct support for the Nesso N1 in the **Arduino Cloud Editor** (the online web IDE) is coming soon. Currently, the Cloud Editor does not support the specific ESP32 core version required for this board.
 
-Read more in the [Getting Started with the Cloud Editor](https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/guides/editor/) guide.
+Please use the **Arduino IDE** (desktop version) to compile and upload code to the Nesso N1.
+
+## Arduino IoT Cloud
+
+Although the Nesso N1 cannot yet be programmed directly via the Cloud Editor, you can still use it with **Arduino IoT Cloud** dashboards and variables. This is done by configuring it as a "Manual Device" and uploading the sketch from your desktop IDE.
+
+Follow these steps to connect your Nesso N1 to the Cloud.
+
+### 1. Create a Manual Device
+
+1.  Go to the [Arduino IoT Cloud Devices page](https://app.arduino.cc/devices).
+2.  Click **+ DEVICE**.
+3.  Select **Any Device** (under Manual Setup).
+4.  Click **Continue**.
+5.  Name your device (e.g., "MyNessoN1") and confirm.
+6.  **Important:** A screen will appear with your **Device ID** and **Secret Key**. Save these credentials in a secure place immediately; you will not be able to view the Secret Key again.
+7.  **Check the box** confirming you have saved your credentials and click **Continue**.
+
+### 2. Create a Thing
+
+1.  Go to the [Things page](https://app.arduino.cc/things).
+2.  Click **+ THING** to create a new Thing.
+3.  Click **Select Device** and associate it with the "Manual Device" you just created.
+4.  Click **ADD** in Cloud Variables section to create a test variable: **Name**: `led`, **Type**: Boolean, **Permission**: Read & Write, **Update Policy**: On Change.
+5.  Click **Add Variable** to confirm.
+
+### 3. Create a Dashboard
+
+1.  Go to the [Dashboards page](https://app.arduino.cc/dashboards).
+2.  Click **+ DASHBOARD** and click **EDIT**.
+3.  Click **ADD** and select the **Things** tab.
+4.  Select your Thing and create a widget for the `led` variable (a Switch widget is recommended).
+5.  Click **DONE**.
+
+### 4. Program the Board via Desktop IDE
+
+Because "Manual Devices" do not automatically generate a downloadable sketch, you must create one manually.
+
+1.  Open the **Arduino IDE** on your computer.
+2.  Install the **ArduinoIoTCloud** library via the Library Manager (**Tools > Manage Libraries...**).
+3.  Create a new sketch (**File > New Sketch**).
+4.  To keep your credentials secure, create a new tab named `arduino_secrets.h` (click the 3-dot icon near the tab bar > **New Tab**).
+5.  Paste the following code into `arduino_secrets.h` and fill in your details:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #define SECRET_WIFI_SSID "YOUR_WIFI_SSID"
+    #define SECRET_WIFI_PASS "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD"
+    #define SECRET_DEVICE_ID "YOUR_DEVICE_ID" // From Step 1
+    #define SECRET_DEVICE_KEY "YOUR_SECRET_KEY" // From Step 1
+    ```
+
+6.  Create another new tab named `thingProperties.h` and paste the following configuration code:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #include <ArduinoIoTCloud.h>
+    #include "arduino_secrets.h"
+
+    void onLedChange();
+
+    bool led;
+
+    WiFiConnectionHandler ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection(SECRET_WIFI_SSID, SECRET_WIFI_PASS);
+
+    void initProperties(){
+      ArduinoCloud.addProperty(led, Permission::ReadWrite).onUpdate(onLedChange);
+      
+      ArduinoCloud.setBoardId(SECRET_DEVICE_ID);
+      ArduinoCloud.setSecretDeviceKey(SECRET_DEVICE_KEY);
+    }
+    ```
+
+7.  Finally, paste the main application code into your `.ino` file:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #include "thingProperties.h"
+
+    void setup() {
+      Serial.begin(115200);
+      delay(1500); // Wait for Serial Monitor
+
+      // Initialize the Nesso N1 built-in LED
+      pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
+      
+      // Initialize Cloud properties and connection
+      initProperties();
+      ArduinoCloud.begin(ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection);
+      
+      // Set debug level to see connection status in Serial Monitor
+      setDebugMessageLevel(2);
+      ArduinoCloud.printDebugInfo();
+    }
+
+    void loop() {
+      ArduinoCloud.update();
+    }
+
+    // This function is called whenever the 'led' variable changes in the Cloud
+    void onLedChange() {
+      // The Nesso N1 LED uses inverted logic (LOW is ON)
+      if (led) {
+        digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
+      } else {
+        digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+8.  Select **Arduino Nesso N1** as your board and upload the sketch.
+9.  Open the **Serial Monitor** to verify the connection. Once connected, you can toggle the switch on your Cloud Dashboard to control the LED on the board.
