ARGON ONE V3 BASIC HARDWARE TEST

1. Connect the Internal USB-C socket on the RP2040-Fan Board to a 5V Power Supply.
2. Press the Power ON Button.
   
3. This would initiate the internal FAN to RUN for 5 SECONDS and then STOP.
4. This would indicate that the RP2040 is able to communicate properly with the Power Button and the internal FAN and that the board is fully functional.

UPDATE ARGON ONE V3 FIRMWARE

1. Download in your PC or Raspberry Pi Computer the latest Argon ONE V3 Firmware from the link below: https://download.argon40.com/firmware/ArgonOne.uf2
2. PRESS and HOLD the Argon ONE V3 POWER BUTTON while you connect Internal USB•C with Data cable to your PC or Raspberry Pl computer.
3. This puts the RP2040 into USB mass storage device mode.
   
4. Then you can DRAG and DROP your LATEST compiled .uf2 flnnware file to the USB mass storage device.
5. Eject device when completed.
