Remove the LCD support

By removing the LCD support in the file ir/main.c by putting the variable LCD_PRESENT to 0:

#define LCD_PRESENT     0       // set to 0 to remove LCD support

And then it saves some space:

Questions

  • Which files do I have to upload with avrdude? ir/main.hex
  • Is it possible to use an Arduino to reflash the chip as an ISP programmer or via MegaISP?
  • Is it possible to port the code to smaller chips, like ATTiny13 or ATTiny25?
    • AtTiny13: too small amount of flash (1K only)
    • AtTiny25: no input capture support

Why don't you bring it over tomorrow so we all can have a look?

I still have to go buy some chips at MBTronics, I don't think I will have the time tomorrow, expect if I find someone who might be available to go there for me.
