How do I know that my Pixel Kit is charging and is fully charged?

What computers is the Kano App available on?
The Kano App is available on Mac OS (macOS version 10.9 or above) and Windows (Windows 7 or above, must be 64-bit). The app is also pre-installed onto the Kano OS, so if you have one of our Computer Kits, you'll be able to code the Pixel Kit through the 'Pixel Kit' app on your dashboard.
