The hardware is discussed in some detail in the following section for the SCALAE AUTO๏ปฟ . The usage of the product is discussed in more detail in the section Applied Automation Using Embedded Technology๏ปฟ .
The firmware included on the SCALAE AUTO is the bootloader installed on the device. It does consume a small amount of program memory, however, it's a small sacrifice for the ease of programming it provides.
Beyond the bootloader, the user needs to code their application to run on the system. They have the option to use Ladder, C, or other suitable programming language.
We recommend the MikroC๏ปฟ toolchain as the vendor also provides an ecosystem of tools and addons that can be used to improve and expand your system.
