LED Blink Patterns
Brief Description of Bootloader vs. Application firmware[edit]
The Mooshimeter ships with two different pieces of firmware on it - the Bootloader and the Application. The Bootloader firmware is loaded once at the factory and never overwritten again. It exists only to update the Application firmware, which may be updated from time to time with new features and bug fixes.
When the Mooshimeter is reset, it will sit in Bootloader mode for 5-8 seconds. During this time, the LED will be on for 1s, off for 1s, repeatedly. If no user connects to the Mooshimeter while it's in Bootloader mode, it will boot the Application firmware.
For versions of Application Firmware <144XXXXXXX[edit]
In legacy firmware, the LED is on whenever the processor is active on the Mooshimeter. You will see a chirp of activity every time the meter takes a sample, and a periodic chirp every 10 seconds.
For versions of Application Firmware >144XXXXXXX[edit]
