How do I compile and flash new Firmware?

Post by dt1000 »

Hello,
I have been encountering a weird issue...
When I load a new image onto the SpokePOV, the first line of the image is always corrupted on one side.

After trawling the forums I found this:
http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8063
Which points to a bug in the firmware.

How do I make the edit in the above post, compile the new firmware and then flash my SpokePOV?

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks!
After a bit of poking about, it looks like using AVRDude to update the firmware should be farily straightforward.
Here is the tutorial I found...

I still have no idea how to compile the firmware though!

Anyone got any pointers?

Thanks,
Dan
