@ TK and other awesome people
Ok, most of what youâre saying might be over my head, donât even know what that foo.h is. I really donât understand much of programming and flashing, and I wouldnât be able to flash my drivers if there wasnât some good tutorials here at BLF. My workflow is: compiling the code with Atmel Studio and than flashing the .hex-file with avrdude via command line, just like in hoopâs tutorial.
Now with your new headers, itâs not that hard to do it, in fact itâs easy once you know how it works. I just right-clicked the project in the solution explorer at Atmel Studio~~add~~>existing file, search for the directory, chose the file, click add. Thatâs what I did with all the headers that need to be included.
Another change from the way it is in hoopâs tutorial, quite important for someone inexperienced like me, is, because weâre using Attiny25 now, I had to adjust the command lines. t25 instead of t13 and other fuses.
test:
avrdude -p t25 -c usbasp -n
erase:
avrdude -p t25 -c usbasp -u -e
flash bistro:
avrdude -p t25 -c usbasp -u -Uflash:w:bistro.hex:a -Ulfuse:w:0xd2:m -Uhfuse:w:0xde:m -Uefuse:w:0xff:m
I know itâs really basic stuff for people like you or TomâŚ
When I found out how to do the above, compiling and flashing went just fine.
But itâs not my day today, hand-soldered the A17-HybridS, flashed it (wanted to check if firmware and driver are running as they should and do calibration afterwards), however, ruined a Convoy C8 then, because I destroyed the driver retaining threads. By the way the Convoy C8 has one of the worst driver retaining rings Iâve come across, really crappy. As if that wanât enough my 60W soldering iron flew of the bench and in a really stupid reflex I caught it, ouch, that hurt, still does. Shouldâve stopped there. But wanted to test out this awesome firmware. With the C8 ruined, I went ahead and grabbed a EE X6, thought something like âyeah, feels more like qualityâ and installed the driver. Works, but first mode doesnât. Maybe too low of a value for the LED to light up?
I havenât even read how the UI works and all, but one thing I noticed in an instant: it has soft transitions between modes and I LOVE THAT! This is something Iâve dreamed about for quite a while now. That is just awesome, you, TK, are just awesome!
No more typing for me, my hand really hurtsâŚ
