• Atmel ATTiny13-20SU
• LD33 (3.3V voltage regulator)
• 24MHz crystal

Protocol

Firmware upload

The FX2 firmware (3072 bytes in size) is uploaded before every sampling run. Certain bytes in the firmware differ depending on the selected sampling rate.

Starting a sampling run

The host seems to send: 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00

Stopping a sampling run

The host seems to send: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
