Dev Bugfix: Analog channel 0 overwrites digital channel 0: The search for the next analog channel was stopped in case the iteration is reset to zero => channel 0 was always sampled, even if no connected sensor was detected. This caused the values of a connected digital sensor to be overwritten. The search loop will now (again) iterate till it finds a new sensor or till the index reachs the active sensor index.

# 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.
