===== 1. About Ethersex =====
Ethersex, originally developed to provide an alternative firmware for the etherrape[1] hardware,
evolved into a full-featured still light-weight firmware for the atmel atmega processors.
For more information and a comprehensive documentation (in german) consult http://www.ethersex.de!

[Wiki for more information: ethersex.de] Use the script at scripts/add-hardware to add a new pinning.

===== 3. How to configure the firmware =====
