Update atmega328 #8

Closed slapplebags closed 9 years ago

slapplebags commented 9 years ago

look into updating the atmega 328p to an atmega32u4 or similar for direct usb programability. This may shed some weight / size in connectors.

slapplebags commented 9 years ago

Existing code allows for a atmega32u4, will looking into updating this on future revisions.

Any future versions will be ARM based. Switching to the 32u4 is not worth the time to re-lay out the board . In addition a USB micro connector would not save space over the current FTDI connector.
