+Usage
+-----
+1. Connect the IR-tower via a serial-to-usb adapter. Check that the
+tower has a working 9V battery.
+
+2. Install nqc (in AUR, may need manual build)
+
+3. Find a Lego RCX, turn it on, and upload the firmware, which will take
+a few minutes while the RCX counts up to high numbers. The IR tower
+will light a green LED while sending data:
+
+ $ make upload_firmware
+
+4. Upload the program:
+
+ $ make upload
+
+Note: The RCX will not remember the program and forget the firmware if
+powered off and without batteries.
