Programming a Pokitto without pressing any buttons
Did you know Pokitto can be programmed using a USB to Serial converter also? This sort of programming is called Serial ISP or UART ISP (ISP = In-System Programming) and it is supported by default by the Pokitto’s LPC11U68 chip ROM.
Serial programming is a little bit slower, but allows you to program Pokitto without the need to press reset or the programming button at the back.
