      Simple question (hopefully). I purchased a ControlBlock last year and now I would like to flash the firmware so that it is compatible with momentary buttons. How do I flash the firmware for the ControBlock, I can't find any information?

      Thanks

          Other than the GamepadBlock, the ControlBlock cannot be updated with petrockutil.
          However, you could update the ControlBlock with an in-service programmer (ISP) like https://www.digikey.de/product-detail/en/sparkfun-electronics/PGM-09825/1568-1080-ND/5230949. I could send you the firmware file for updating the ControlBlock via email.

              Hello, I was looking into the firmware flashing options too for my Controlblock. Have anyone tried to flash with Arduino Uno as ISP or with the Arduino Nano Every?
              As I have both it would be the fastest but I would love some help to do it right...

              Thanks
