Improvment battery charger visualization: In the previous version the green flash (charge complete) was shown even battery had not reached 100% charge. Root cause was that the pin signaling the end of charge could be raised for other reasons then a full battery. The new version will show the green flash only in case the battery is rated as full. In addition the graph visualization has been updated to continously progress. In the previous version it only progressed in case the charge value changed. Especially at charging start the charger is doing some battery evaluation which does not increase the charge state. In such a case the graph seemed to be frozen.

# 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 ##
