Updating SysLat Firmware

//I got through writing these instructions and realized they are completely wrong. You were wanting to write some kind of script using avrdude(?), right? I need to look into that more. While there are multiple ways to "flash"(am I using this word right? probably not) an Adafruit microcontroller, this set of instructions will require the Arduino IDE.

1. Download the file syslat_fw_pcb_rev_1.ino.with_bootloader.itsybitsy32u4.hex
2. Download and install the Arduino IDE
3. Open the Arduino IDE

• Go to File -> Preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URLs and enter the following URL, then press OK.
  • https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json
• From the Tools menu:
  • Go to Board -> Boards Manager then install Adafruit AVR Boards, and close the window.
  • Then in Board -> Adafruit Boards choose AdaFruit ItsyBitsy 32u4 5V 16MHz.
  • Under the Port menu choose the correct COM port that represents your device as shown in this screenshot.
    • Very common errors occur here, but I can't remember the exact problem so I can't find the documentation for it. If you run into an error at this step please reach out to us at [email protected].
• Upload the file to the board.
