This project is a clone of the [Windows
uploader](https://pxt.microbit.org/uploader), but for OS X. Once launched,
the app runs in your menu bar and will automatically deploy any HEX files to
your `micro:bit`. Like the Windows version, it is compatible with any browser
your `@boardname@`. Like the Windows version, it is compatible with any browser
that can run [pxt.microbit.org](http://pxt.microbit.org).

Each time the crocodile clip is firmly connected and disconnected from pin `P0`, the micro:bit will return a random Number between 0 and the parameter limit.
