Build Instructions

1. Install prerequisites as described in the avr-hal README (avr-gcc, avr-libc, avrdude, ravedude).

2. Run cargo build to build the firmware.

3. Run cargo run to flash the firmware to a connected board. If ravedude fails to detect your board, check its documentation at https://crates.io/crates/ravedude.

4. ravedude will open a console session after flashing where you can interact with the UART console of your board.
