The times they are a-changin ...
The main microcontroller inside the Elektor Wheelie is a ATmega32, driven by a firmware made by Chris Krohne in cooperation with the Elektor lab. Because this is an open project the source code of the firmware is open too. And even better: The firmware is written with Bascom , a BASIC compiler for AVR microcontrollers from Atmel. So you have not to be a ace in software engineering to modify this code.
Günter Gerold, a busy poster in the German Elektor forum, has kindly taken the work on his shoulders to simplify the original code and add many comments (in English) - even for me the code is comprehensible now
The result is the starting point where you come into play. Yes: you!
Because this is a call to participate and cooperate to help each other build a optimized firmware for the wheelie. More brains have more ideas and more eyes see more bugs

And There You can download this new firmware as a hex file too to try it out ...

join call for: Elektor Wheelie Open Firmware
The central microcontroller Elektor Wheelie is a ATmega32, programmed with a firmware that was created by Chris Krohne, in cooperation with the Elektor Lab. Because this is but a so-called open project the source code is open too. Even better: The firmware is written with Bascom , a BASIC compiler for AVR microcontrollers from Atmel. So you have to be no high-caliber software engineers to modify this code.
Günter Gerold, a prolific poster in the German Elektor forum, has kindly taken the task of simplifying the original code and add comments (in English language so that the whole world can join) - now it is understandable even for me
The result is the starting point where you come into play. Yes, you!
Because this is a Auruf to build on cooperation and mutual assistance to an optimized version. More heads, more ideas and more eyes find more bugs

And: You can download the firmware there as a hex-file and out for a spin ...
