PiLocoBuffer firmware

Here you find the releases of the software that runs in the AVR microcontroller on the PiLocoBuffer board.

See project pages for general information.

For installation, you need a software called AVR-Dude installed on your RasPi:

sudo apt install avrdude

Now copy the ZIP file onto the RasPi. Since version 2023-03-05 the ZIP contains these files:

  • PiLocoBuffer.hex: is the software.
  • PI_LB_avrdude.conf: tells avrdude how to access the AVR memories
  • Makefile: This makefile uses AVR-Dude in order to set the fuses correctly and write the above hex file into the AVR.

Than unzip, go into the directory and run the make file with super user rights. E.g. for release 2023-04-15 you type:

unzip PiLocoBuffer_2023-04-15.zip
cd PiLocoBuffer_2023-04-15/
sudo make
