USB Bootloading! This week, I’ve been working on (well, working on getting it to compile) a USB bootloader for the chip we’re using. What does this mean? It means that instead of having to buy a $40 programmer to update the firmware on the chip, firmware updates can now also be handled via USB, something that is super-nice. This means that we can keep upgrading the guitar and adding new features, and you simply (well, right now, unfortunately slightly less simply) have to download the new code and install it on your device. This also means that we’re probably going to be able to offer kits really soon, since we can continually update the firmware as time goes on.
