A word of warning

This is minimalist hardware with no safety features whatsoever.

Inserting a Babygnusbuino in your computers USB port exposes its electrical components to the outside world - this is the equivalent of running around with a double edged sword IN YOUR MOUTH: it's fun and exciting but you better not trip over… Take special care with external power sources - you can easily fry your computers USB port and ALL the devices (webcams, mice etc..) connected to the same port.

You've been warned.

Getting the files

You can either download the two folders and add their contents to the corresponding folders in your Arduino working directory, or you can pull the latest version directly through svn.

cd "the/path/to/Arduino/"    (for me on a Mac it is cd ~/Users/me/Documents/Arduino)

git clone https://github.com/mirdej/babygnusbuino.git hardware/babygnusbuino

svn co https://gnusb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnusb/branches/gnusbuino/hardware
svn co https://gnusb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnusb/branches/gnusbuino/libraries

later on, you can always update to the latest version by typing

svn update


Patching avrdude

The Babygnusbuino has a bootloader and can thus be reprogrammed directly via USB, without the need for a AVR ISP programmer. Unfortunately, because of the architecture of the ATTINY85, it is
