make_and_flash_logo v2.11

make_and_flash_logo

Release Version 2.11 (Latest Version)
A bundle to convert and flash a logo to your Pinecil.

Includes scripts, some documentation and supporting files.

Release Summary

This is a minor release, only containing updates for the documentation and removing outdated references in the scripts. Just a pass over all the text, ensuring all names are up to date and things like that. No new features were added, hence the very minor version increment.

Hope you enjoy this release! 😄

Important note (again because maybe not everyone saw it last time)

Since v2.1, I switched to use the new IronOS logo location in scripts that involve logo flashing. You MUST update your Pinecil to IronOS v2.15 or later! If you don't want to update your Pinecil, you must use make_and_flash_logo v2.0 or older.

Usage

Download make_and_flash_logo-v2.11.zip below, then extract it into a folder and read the INSTRUCTION.

Updates

No updating mechanism is implemented. You can check the releases page for new versions.

make_and_flash_logo v2.1

make_and_flash_logo

Bundle Version 2.1
A bundle to convert and flash a logo to your Pinecil.

Includes a script, some documentation and other files.

Release Summary

This is a kind of substantial release, but not big enough to warrant a major version increment. Basically, all of the scripts now contain the new preferences system and improved error handling that was added for only one of the scripts in 2.0. Also, a new script was added (flash_ironos) for updating IronOS easily. Then, I added actual instructions for all the scripts into the INSTRUCTION as well as some typo fixes and minor tweaks.

Finally, and the most breaking change of all, I switched to use the new IronOS logo location in scripts that involve logo flashing. This means that you must update your Pinecil to IronOS v2.15 or later.

make_and_flash_logo

Bundle Version 2.0
A bundle to convert and flash a logo to your Pinecil.

Includes a script, some documentation and other files.

Release Summary

This is a big release. For the main script, I implemented a basic preferences system (which allows for skipping manual input if needed), added a feature where the script will ask you for the file if it can't find it with the default name, fixes some bugs and some other minor code improvements, and a renamed the README to INSTRUCTION to prevent confusion.

Note

These have since been fixed, please redownload if you downloaded this release before May 9th, 2021.
