Arduino Loader Project

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 B, Adafruit Feather 32u4, 10,000 mAh extended cell battery, 3 button membrane

Software: Windows 10, Platformio 3.4.0, mpg321, Rasbian Jessie Lite, Python 2.7.9

I needed to create a method for "less-trained" staff to reload Arduino boards in the field.  I considered doing something with Android but immediately had several users ask "what about iPhones?!"  So I decided that I'd just build a unit to allow for a more controlled environment.

The result is a handheld Raspberry Pi that the techs can walk around with
