## Building firmware:
At console, run `make`. You will need AVR GCC installed.

## Building software:
It's a Chrome web app. Install it like a normal dev app.

## Building hardware:
Send v5 Gerbers to a PCB fab and have fun with QFN soldering. If you want
a little less fiddling, use the seeed_bom.csv file along with the Gerbers
and use Seedstudio's Fusion PCBA service. Use a board thickness of 8mm.
As Seeed doesn't have them, you will need to add a USB A Male connector
(any through hole model should fit) and a Raphnet Nunchuck connector.

Altium Designer was used, open TataconUSB.PrjPcb as the main file.

Program the HID bootloader and clock fuses via `make init` and an SPI programmer.
The makefile is by default setup to use the USBAsp. I recommend pogo pins
in a breadboard + USB connection for power.
From there, program by hitting the hardware reset button, then `make flash`.
