If a workaround is +discovered, I'd love to hear it. It appears to be inherent to the controller. + +##Building firmware: +At console, run `make`. You will need AVR GCC installed. + +##Building hardware: +Send the Gerbers for V2 to a PCB fab, or generate them yourself from the v0.2 tag +files. Altium Designer was used, open TataconUSB.PrjPcb as the main file. + +Ground is unconnected in V2 (whoops!) so you'll need to solder 2 fly wires. +Also, tie the HWBOOT pin to ground to enable easier programming. + +Tap the RESET pin to ground to drop the board into bootloader mode, then use +Atmel's FLIP programmer to load the .hex. \ No newline at end of file
