Expanded Sensor map structure: In the previous version the number of possible sensors were set to 5 based on the assumption that ADC slots are shared with digital O2 sensors. As result three of five slots would have been limited to O2 measurement usecase, leaving just two slots left for other sensors (e.g. CO2). In order to have as much flexibility (and less risk for data structure changes) the number of sensors has been set to 7 (3 ADC + 4 UART MUX)

# How to Make an Uploadable Firmware File for the OSTC4 #

Generated BIN files from the SMT32 Workbench need modification in order to be installed via the OSTC Companion onto the OSTC4. 

## Build Command Line Tools ##

These can be found in /ostc4pack (For Windows, CPP sources available)

## Run the Tools Manually ##

1. Copy generated BIN files (From the Release or debug directory) into /ostc4pack. Or: Modify .bat files to point to your Release or debug directory.
2. run step1_create_OSTC_RTE_upload.bat and/or step1_create_OSTC4_firmware_upload_bin.bat (Depending on which part you made changes)
3. run step2_create_OSTC4update_bin.bat to create final OSTC4update_xxxxxx.bin, with xxxxxx being the current date in YYMMDD format. This will add important checksums required for the OSTC4's bootloader to accept the file.

## Upload this file with the OSTC Companion software to the OSTC4 ##
