[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Reprogramming the Benito

[Donald Delmar Davis]

Justin,

it sounds like your dorkboard wouldnt shut up long enough to let the  
benito do its job.

There are currently 3 stated that are indicated by the benito. Solid  
on for not connected.
ping-pong for enumerating (negotiating agreement with the host) and  
dual flash to indicate that dtr(reset) has been asserted.
The other blinking indicates data from (led closest to the header) and  
to (led closest to the usb) a solid on either of these indicates that  
one of the devices is constantly talking.
Most of this is done using the schedular that dean is writing out of  
the library. I have been trying to rewrite a stable revision but the  
underlying library keeps moving.

I hope this clears things up a bit.

Don.
