From plugin development, API access, device logs, to Discord access and early release firmware, there are multiple benefits to supporting TRMNL with a developer edition license.
This feature was announced on November 4, 2024:
What is Developer Edition?
Developer Edition is an optional add-on for devices that can be purchased individually, as part of a bundle (Clarity Kit), or in-app from your device settings page.
Developer Edition licenses are linked to devices, not users. For more information on deciding if and how many licenses you may want, see this article.
Here are some benefits of adding Developer Edition to your device:
API Keys
Programmatic Screen Manipulation
Mirror to iPad and Android
Device Logs and Render Debug Logs
Discord Community
Early Release option for Firmware
Supporting TRMNL's developer community
Developer Edition vs BYOD License
Developer Edition is an add-on for TRMNL native devices. BYOD licenses are for DIY (BYOD) devices and include the same features as Developer Edition, plus access to the web platform itself.
You do not need BYOD + Developer Edition.
