 # Firmware overview
 
+The firmware is a regular Arduino sketch, and follows the classic Arduino one-threaded design. The initialization code is in the `setup()` function, and the main loop is in the `loop()` function. The sketch includes multiple files, each responsible for a specific part of the system.
