Switching Modes

We have created a simple utility, the Hummingbird Firmware Burner, for switching a Hummingbird Duo from one mode to another. For example, you might need to switch your Hummingbird from Arduino mode to Hummingbird (tethered) mode, or you might wish to switch the Duo to the bluetooth-ready mode so that you can use the BirdBlox app on an iPad.
