Time to flash your badge

It's time to flash your gopher badge, please follow this instructions:

  1. We need to connect the gopher badge to your laptop with a USB cable. If using a phone or tablet, make sure OTG is enabled
  2. Put your badge into bootloader mode: hold the BOOT button on the back, press the RST button and release both
  3. After a few seconds,it will appear a new media storage RPI-RP2 on your laptop, phone or tablet. (Note: on Android, some file explorer doesn't find this new media disk)
  4. Click on the button below Compile & download, save the downloaded file on the root on the RPI-RP2 media storage. It could take 20-25s, please be patient.
  5. If done correctly, your gopher badge will reboot itself and run the new code

PLEASE BE PATIENT, the compilation runs on a personal server and it might take some time. Sorry for any inconvenience, please just click once and wait for about 30s for the file.
