A wireless bootloader for Arduino and Electric Imp

Tomatoless Boots

A wireless bootloader for Arduino with an Electric Imp. Using an Imp on the SparkFun Electric Imp Shield you can reprogram an Arduino anywhere in the world by pushing a HEX file to a webpage. It's really slick and easy to use.

There are two bits of code to load onto the Imp, the device and agent. Two hardware modifications to the Electric Imp Shield from SparkFun are required:

• Cut two RX/TX traces to 8/9 on the back of the Imp Shield then solder blob to 0/1
• Wire from P1 of Imp to RST on shield.

This code includes improvements to decrease the time it takes to bootload a program from tens of seconds to under a second.
