Confirm: Does the Ariadne Board need to be selected when building a sketch? #57

Hi Phillip - Question about settings for the sketches to be uploaded. Is it required to use the board choices shown below the "Ariadne Bootloader" section in the board menu, or can we use other board settings above? We have customized board settings for the Mega2560. It is likely required to still use those settings for the sketches. But does that mess up the bootloader support?

I've been trying to figure out the answer to that question. In my testing so far, it seems that the board choice for sketch creation is independent of the bootloader. I need to take a deeper look at the board settings to determine whether there is any impact on sketches.

Documentation should be updated accordingly.

For compilation purposes, no. But teh libraries shipped with the bootloader aren't found in that case. We'll split them out and add them as separate repositories. They will be submoduled here.
