The program here was developed for badges that use a mini-USB connection and have two buttons in the back. As of right now I can't find these on Amazon any more. :( If I find time I'll try to update the program to support newer badges, but I have no prediction when that will happen. Sorry! + +## Word of warning (2) If you come here through google and are looking for a nice graphical system to program your badge, sorry, this is not the software you are looking for. It only has a command-line interface and was primarily developed for Linux. It should still work on Windows, but only with the right USB-serial driver installed (see [Windows](#windows) for details).
