FTDI cable to programme the eggs

[Mark Setrem]

For the non arduino users, the cable we were using last night to load the programme to the units is called an FTDI cable.

They are easily available online from electronic-parts shops and Ebay.  

I bought mine via another open source project:  http://shop.openenergymonitor.com/programmers/

To use the cable you will need the arduino software  http://arduino.cc

You will also need to download a driver for the cable which you can find:  http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
