From 6ec9441ad6052d5326de4ecf1db61404bd5c32bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Gillham Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 10:49:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update README with supported hardware details. Fixes issue #55. Also add some other similar SUMP projects to the bottom of the README. Fix the Makefile as well since I moved the sketches into examples. The Makefile needs more work to add the Leonardo and Sigrok sketches but that is more of an exercise for the reader. --- Makefile | 2 +- README.md | 100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 76f6cef..610bb7b 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Makefile for an Arduino based logic analyzer using the arduino-cli # -TARGET = logic_analyzer +TARGET = examples/logic_analyzer FQBN = arduino:avr:diecimila SERIAL = /dev/ttyUSB* diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 9ab7e36..52bf989 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,5 +1,4 @@ -SUMP compatible logic analyzer for Arduino -========================================== +# SUMP compatible logic analyzer for Arduino This Arduino sketch implements a SUMP protocol compatible logic analyzer.
