This is a simple program for the XMOS XS1 platform, originally intended to control an electrostatic shutter
7-
on a scanning transmission electron microscope. It's primary purpose is to turn something (or multiple things)
8-
on and off with very deterministic times, with minimum on/off switching times down to about 200 ns.

To use this code, you'll need an XMOS XS1 device. The XS1 is the name of the architecture, and there are
11-
several different devices you might find. The code was developed on an XC-1A development board, which
12-
has an XS1-G4 chip.

To flash this code to your XMOS device:
15-
- Check out the source code from this repository.
16-
- Open the XMOS development environment.
17-
- Click File-> Import...
18-
- In the General folder, select "Existing projects into workspace"
19-
- Point the root directory to the folder where you have the source code.
20-
- Click OK/Finish
21-
- Click Project -> Properties
22-
- Expand the C/XC build menu, then click settings in its submenu
23-
- Under the mapper/linker settings, set the target to be the proper target for your XMOS device (for me,
24-
it was an XC-1A, since that's what device I have.)
25-
- Everything is all set up now, you can flash the fast beam shutter code over as you would any other XMOS
26-
program.
