## Flashing the Firmware
If you simply want to flash the firmware onto a completed Inkclip device, you can use the [cargo-dfu](https://github.com/dfu-rs/cargo-dfu) tool. Simply connect the device via USB with BOOT0 pulled up and then run under this directory
```sh
cargo dfu --release
```
If you want to debug this firmware through e.g. [SWD](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100893/latest/Debug-and-trace-interface/Serial-Wire-Debug-signals) then you can use [probe-rs](https://probe.rs/) with a debugging probe instead.
## Implementation Details ## Implementation Details
- The USB device sets the maximum current to 100mA, which should be well above the active power draw of the actual hardware (9mA MCU + 8mA e-paper). - The USB device sets the maximum current to 100mA, which should be well above the active power draw of the actual hardware (9mA MCU + 8mA e-paper).

## Building
Run `npm run dev` under this directory in order to spin up a Vite development server, and run `npm run build` to bundle the application.

Write to Inkclip depends on the [WebHID API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebHID_API) to send data to devices. As a consequence, it is only supported on Chromium-based browsers, which are the only browsers that support WebHID at this time.
