Firmware in Action

| Figure 3: Bigshot's firmware in action |
Figure 3 shows Bigshot's firmware in action. Although the instructions are
actually lines of 0's and 1's, they are shown here in plain English so we can read them too.
This particular set of instructions tells the microcontroller what to do when the shoot button
is pressed in Auto Flash mode. Some of the instructions (like Step 7, for example)
tell the microcontroller to give orders to other components. Clicking on the arrow buttons in
Figure 3 will step through each instruction and show what happens to each component as
the instruction is executed.
