View source for Arduino IDE with Minimus

== Introduction ==
This is how to load Arduino sketches to the Minimus AVR stick without modifying the bootloader.<br />
As the hardware is identical to the teensy 1.0, any sketch compiled for the teensy will run on minimus.<br />
<br />
The Teensy runs a closed source bootloader which isnt available.<br />
While it is possible to create a custom bootloader to make the minimus appear as a Teensy, this method doesnt require you to flash a new bootloader.

== How To ==

=== Installation ===

# Install the following
#* [http://arduino.cc/en/main/software Arduino IDE]
#* [http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html Teensy Loader]
#* [http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html Teensyduino]
#* [http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx Atmel Flip]
# Plug in a Minimus and you'll see it's an unrecognized device in device manager.  Update driver, pointing it at C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.7\usb  (and saying yes when prompted)
# In FLIP, go to Device > Select > AT90USB162

=== Programming ===


# Launch Arduino IDE and Teensy Loader
# Select Teensy 1.0 under Tools, Board
# Load/Write your sketch and click upload
#* It will compile then pop up the Teensy program with a button to 'open HEX file'  Click this and drag it to desktop.  Then cancel out of Teensy program.
# Open Flip
# Plug in Minimus
# To put Minimus in programming mode, push reset, push HWB, release reset, release HWB
# Select communication USB [open]
# Run the operations flow to program the Minimus (erase, program, verify)
# Reset the minimus 
# Profit
