Release downloads

Downloading .hex

For a separately captured firmware.hex a separate procedure is needed for downloading.
For a windows PC I create a prog_mayfly.bat to do this - you may need to customize for your environment - both where the files are and what COMXXX is used.

Copy ModularSensors\arduino_update\prog_mayfly.bat to your firmware directory

rem prog_mayfly <nam.hex>   
rem c:\Users\neilh77\.platformio\packages\tool-avrdude\avrdude  -c stk500 -P COM10 -p m1284p %1   
c:\users\neilh77\.platformio\packages\tool-avrdude\avrdude -v -p atmega1284p -C C:\Users\neilh77\.platformio\packages\tool-avrdude\avrdude.conf -c arduino -b 57600 -D -P "COM10" -U flash:w:%1:i    

Background

Tools like platformio and arduino IDE make it very easy to develop AND download a program. They usually generate a file (eg platformio generates) firmware.hex which can be copied and separately downloaded.
