development
all code is written in c. you’ll need gcc installed.
mac avr32 toolchain setup: github.com/monome/avr32-toolchain
monome modules are powered by an avr32 which is preloaded with a bootloader.
see firmware update for flashing instructions.
note: there is an unpopulated UART header which allows for proper debugging. we use an FTDI breakout board for communication with the module.
note: there is also an unpopulated reset switch, which allows for faster development.
note: after uploading a new image, the firmware will start immediately, but an additional reset is needed to re-enable USB host (ie, grids).
