✨ NAME ✨

snek-uno-instal — Install Snek to Uno

ngl the name in the original is spelled snek-uno-instal (yes, one l short, iconic typo energy, we're keeping it exactly as it is 🫶). The actual command is snek-uno-install. she contains multitudes.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

snek-uno-install [OPTION]... [COMMAND]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

snek-uno-install installs the Snek programming language onto an ATmega328P Uno board, and it does it using the Optiboot boot loader. that's the whole vibe. she installs, she slays, she dips. 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -hex <snek.hex> — tells her which hex file to load onto the board. if you don't say anything, the default is the currently installed version of Snek. so like, she'll just use what she already knows. cozy.
• -port <port> — picks the serial port. default is /dev/ttyACM0. if your board is chillin' somewhere else, you gotta say so.
• -mcu <MCU name> — says which micro controller she should expect to find on the board. some boards are rockin' m328, others have m328p. the default is atmega328p, but if you get an error message indicating a mismatch, you can try the other one. it's giving "wrong key, try the spare key" 🔑

🔥 OPTIBOOT 🔥

Snek for the Uno requires Optiboot. periodt. it is not optional, bestie.

if your board does not already have Optiboot, you can use the Arduino IDE to install Optiboot on your Uno. follow the instructions on the Optiboot web site:

https://github.com/Optiboot/optiboot

to learn how to do that. go read it, i believe in you 🧚
