README.md change firmware upload instructions so we don't have to push the buttons on the board #39

Very cool! I will test this on a board in a couple hours and report back on how well it works. |

Ran it and it works like a charm! Overall LGTM, just requesting a few typo type fixes.

I think it would be a good idea to add here a little note that reminds people to change the /dev/ttyACM0 to whatever their local path for the target board is.
I would think something like this would make sense:
Make sure to change
/dev/ttyACM0to the correct path for your target board. You may want to runls /dev/tyy*for a list of all possible paths.

Yeah, I've been wondering how to best do this. There is a note at the bottom of the next step mentioning something like that but I like your suggestion better. Will call out finding the right device somewhere in the docs.

What do you think about 422a836?

Yeah these changes look good to me! I just added some comments for 2 typos that should be corrected

Thanks for catching those typos! |
This PR replaces the step where we needed put the board into bootloader mode and drag and drop the uf2 onto the board. The new step uses the arduino cli to do these steps with a single command.
Example:
arduino-cli upload -v -b 115200 --fqbn rp2040:rp2040:rpipico -p /dev/tty.usbmodem1101 -i build-artifacts/rpipico/BroncoDeployment/bin/BroncoDeployment.uf2 ...
