-3. Install driver for DFU bootloader. At first time you start DFU bootloader on Chip 'Found New Hardware Wizard' will come up on Windows. If you install device driver properly you can find chip name like 'ATmega32U4' under 'LibUSB-Win32 Devices' tree on 'Device Manager'. If not you shall need to update its driver on 'Device Manager'. You will find the driver in `FLIP` install directory like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.5\usb\. If you use `dfu-programmer` install its driver.

-### Program Controller
-Sock AVR USB chip including ATmega32U4 has DFU bootloader by factory default, you can use DFU tools for this purpose. `FLIP` is a DFU tool on Windows offered by Atmel. Open source command line DFU tool `dfu-programmer` also supports AVR chips, which run on Linux, Mac OSX and even Windows. If you have a PJRC Teensy you should use `Teensy Loader`.
+Program Controller
+------------------
+Now you have **hex** file to program on current directory. This **hex** is only needed to program your controller, other files are used for development and you may leave and forget them.
+
+### 1. Start bootloader
+How to program controller depends on controller chip and its board design. To program AVR USB chips you'll need to start it up in bootloader mode. Most of boards with the chip have a push button to let bootloader come up. Consult with your controller board manual.

+### 2. Program with DFU bootloader
+Stock AVR USB chip including ATmega32U4 has DFU bootloader by factory default. `FLIP` is a DFU programmer on Windows offered by Atmel. Open source command line tool `dfu-programmer` also supports AVR chips, it runs on Linux, Mac OSX and even Windows.
-#### DFU bootloader
To program AVR chip with DFU bootloader use `FLIP` or `dfu-programmer`.
If you have a proper program command in `Makefile` just type this.
-`FLIP` has two version of tool, GUI app and command line program. If you want GUI see tutorial section below.

-#### Other programmer
-You may want to use other you favorite programmer like `avrdude` with AVRISPmkII, Aruduino or USBasp. In that case you can still use make target `program` for build with configuring PROGRAM_CMD in Makefile.
