Programming package - includes firmware image

In this version month.bat is renamed to moon.bat and should be a mean lunar month (~29.53 days).

Download these files and test. After programming, hand should rotate 180 deg on first button press and then start normal ticking on next button press.

Test version of DAY mode firmware

Copy these two day files into your bin directory and then program up movements by double clicking on the day.bat file. Make sure the programming completes successfully with no errors.

1. After programming, the movement will wait for a button press.
2. When the button is released, the hand will rotate through 1/2 of a full revolution. This should take exactly 3 min 45 sec.
3. After the 1/2 revolution is complete, the movement will stop to wait for a button press to begin day operation.
4. When the button is pressed, the hand will start ticking once every 24 seconds forever.

Test firmware

Waits for button to be pressed, then runs at 2 seconds per tick (2 hours per rotation).

1. latest PCB
2. variant with no mask around the logo

Beta 1- First PCB produced OSH park & PCBWAY

Prototype PCB, but maybe good enough for production? Main expected issues are getting holes to line up with existing movement.

Software so far just sets up the RX8900 and then spins the hands.
