WARNING:
Linux: These steps don't work on Linux. Disable automount and mount the drive by hand, then copy the UF2 file over (remember to rename it CURRENT.uf2).
MacOS Sonoma 14.4: The drive might not show up in Sonoma 14.4. There is no known solution for now as it's a widely reported issue with USB devices that Apple should fix. Your only choice is to wait for a fix or use another computer.
- Hold the right encoder down while plugging the USB cable into your Plinky.
- Plinky will show up as an attached drive and you should see the "tunnel of lights" effect on the LEDs.
- Drag and drop CURRENT.uf2 to the drive. Make sure that it's called CURRENT.uf2 and nothing else.
- While flashing, the LEDs will flicker. This is normal!
- To finish, just click the encoder again. Plinky will boot up and you should see the correct version number.

This moves the accelerometer sensitivity on the 'settings' button, and instead on the 'lower' shift of volume (bottom right) you get stereo width. 50% = normal stereo, 0% = all mid, no side; 100% = all side, no mid. Also supports name and category for presets (editable via web soon!)
