     - Hold down the (-) button for the entire firmware update, do not release until near the end.
 - `DC Low` message: a pc/laptop cannot fully power Pinecil, it generally can only get 5 V (non-PD) to communicate for firmware updates and Pinecil will report 'DC Low'. This is normal.
+- If `dfu-util` aborts with an error like
