Just a note for the folks who have been on the Tindie waitlist - I'm really sorry that it's been some weeks now, I kept pushing it back as I was going back and forth with the fab house to try to optimize the PCB cutout. I think I've got it about as good as it can be, so no more need to wait.
Got more chips on the way, and I will do a build this week - should be up Thursday or Friday!
It is an intended feature. For modchips.. If you look in the chainloader thread, you will see some dongle builds. Now I'm not sure which bootloader electronranchers board uses, but if it is a trinket, you can use the R4S version. Or I can support it independently. I just need the pinouts for buttons and LEDs. Then it's trivial to set the code switches in my source and build a fresh one of none of the existing versions work well enough
Ah okey! There are so many things in the threads it's hard to keep check. I guess the R4S should work since it's probably the same unit.
Edit: in fact, I am adding a dongle mode. There is going to be that much stuff in this bloody samd launcher... Should give it a name and version numbers lol
Star man. All I needed to know.Dongle mode!
Hi @linuxares, I don't use a timeout in my code because I expect the user will power up and fiddle around a bit before being ready to launch. @mattytrog is supporting all sorts of boards, including internal chips that only need to be on for a few seconds - hence, he sets a timeout in his standard builds of ... maybe 10 seconds? I forget
Also, the SAMD board pinout is similar to trinket in terms of buttons, but without the dotstar LED. I just use the activity LED on digital 13, which is also trinket compatible.
Looks like not as cheap soldering.
