Add Firmware descriptions please. #34

Closed dabonetn closed 2 months ago

dabonetn commented 2 months ago

I've built a couple and downloaded the latest release, but the only thing in the release is 9 firmware files.

They mention LED and RGB, and PWM and Dac, but there's no instructions on what does what.

Any chance of adding a readme to the releases for clarification?

(I'm assuming you are using attaching a RGB led or regular LED somewhere, but I don't see that on the main page.)

There is a RGB LEDs on some of the Chinese Picos. To activate it you can use the firmware with the RGB in the name. Also see: https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/140808-projektvorstellung-sidkick-pico/&postID=2088499#post2088499 and: https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/142078-sidkick-pico-aufbau-tipps-und-fragen/&highlight=sidkick%20pico some useful infos can be found there.

Regarding DAC and PWM see the project description: "Note, which of the two output options is active depends on the firmware that you use (there are options for PWM-only and PWM+DAC simultaneously). PWM quality is slightly better when the DAC output is not enabled." ...
