How do I update my TV-B-Gone ?

Post by LotOfHugs »

Hi :),

I have a TV-B-Gone since 2016 now and I wanted to know how I can upgrade the firmware ? There are pins but I don't know how to connect it to my computer.. Could you tell me how ?

Thanks !

The firmware is here:
https://github.com/adafruit/TV-B-Gone-kit

We don't have a guide for the process, but you would build the firmware and use a programmer to load it via the programming header (the 2x3 pins labeled ICSP). That requires additional hardware.

There are various guides on AVR (the brains of the tv-b-gone) programming which can give you a general overview.
