## Note on Flashing ## Note on Flashing
Flashing the XInput library makes the Arduino unresponsive to further flashing. Flashing the XInput library makes the Arduino unresponsive to further flashing. In order to flash new sketches, you'll need to manually reset the board. You'll need to perform steps 4-6 on every flash as long as you have the Arduino configured for XInput. Find more information about this [in the readme of the Arduino XInput library](https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput_AVR?tab=readme-ov-file#upload-warning-and-instructions).
