Hey so i barely have experience in programming or anything of the sort. I just wanted to make sure i read the guide correctly and understand what i read. I have been trying to host auto raids for SV for a couple weeks now and all my research led me to this discord and the chip board guide. Just wanted to confirm if i follow the guide and get the chip board, i can auto host raids and restart my game to reload the raid again? Sorry if this is a useless question but if what im reading is correct, and i can do this, i will definitely buy these products and get started!
#Just want to make sure i understand this right

obtuse glen
Yes that is correct
You can use CC autohost which uses hardware and our programs or you can use CFW autohost
opal bear
Oh thats great! Sorry i thought i wasn’t understanding it and thought it was too good to be true 😅
obtuse glen
Although CFW autohost is currently down as Sysbot needs updating and there's no ETA for that
hollow burrow
yes if you turn auto-save off, raids are preserved after restarting the game
obtuse glen
Also that
opal bear
Yeah i remember i did actually work with a friend to get a bot running but since we had no ETA on when it’d update we kept looking further and found this discord
obtuse glen
! getstarted
mint imp
obtuse glen
In case you haven't seen it yet
opal bear
Yes i seen this exactly! I read it all and just couldnt believe this existed lol i thought maybe i wasnt reading it right as i spent countless hours trying to find these sources
obtuse glen
Glad you found them now 
opal bear
Thanks so much you guys im definitely going to order the board and continue the guide, i appreciate this! One more question though if you guys dont mind? Sorry
obtuse glen
Ofcourse
But it might cost you an arm and a leg and perhaps a couple of your newborns being named by me
opal bear
So since CFW auto host is down, this would be CC auto host? That means i dont need the other bot to be updated
Lmfaoooooo
hollow burrow
we can't tell who Alice is, other questions are fair
obtuse glen
Yeah that's correct, this runs independently of CFW
opal bear
Deal, take the newborns man lmaoo i have been searching for so long it’s unbelievable
obtuse glen
I.e. you don't need CFW to use our programs
opal bear
Thats amazing, thanks a lot for all of your help
obtuse glen
Also we'd recommend trying the MC programs atleast once so you know the basics and then moving onto using CC
It's all covered step by step in the tutorial
opal bear
I will definitely try those too! Hopefully i dont get too confused since im not going to lie i am very new this
opal bear
God im so sorry about asking something again but the MC programs are the Micro Controller stuff right?
obtuse glen
Yep indeed
hollow burrow
if you see a term you are not sure about you can also check if it's defined in #terminology
opal bear
Okay so i plan on buying everything today but one of the items is unavailable, is there an alternative to it or do i have to use that specific one?
vale merlin
which one isn't available?
you can choose an alternative ofc, but if you are new to this it's better to let us check if you are buying the right one, cause there are many similar products
opal bear
Sorry if im saying this wrong but its the Leonardo that’s unavailable
And yeah i figured i needed that one since i am a beginner and want to use MC first like you guys recommended lol wanna start slow then move up to CC so i can auto host
vale merlin
arduino Leonardo is in short stock right now, you can just go to amazon and search arduino Leonardo to see if there any items
the brand doesn’t matter as long as you buy an Arduino Leonardo
or you can choose other alternatives like tennsy or pro micro but they aren’t quite beginner-friendly.
vale merlin
well that’s fine, first one is the legit Arduino Leonardo
opal bear
The one for $25.95?
Also the usb cable thats needed with this is just a standard usb charger for the switch right? I never knew that was a micro usb to usb-a lmaoo
vale merlin
yes, the $25.95 one works, for the cable just search micro it’s to usb-a
the switch using another type called usb-c, it’s not the same
a micro usb to usb-a is that kind calve old android phone used or old gen kindle devices used if you have one
while buying the cable be sure you buy a data transfer cable instead of charging only, need read the description of product
opal bear
Ohhh okay yeah i remember that one, i’ll get that one too and show you my amazon cart to make sure i didnt miss something. Im buying CC hardware as well so i dont have to get it later
vale merlin
ok, so you need an uart and a capture card
opal bear
Yeah i just added those too, i think the last thing im missing is the cable which im checking now to see if they do more than just charging functions
vale merlin
you can send the link we can check together if you want
opal bear
Got u i’ll check rn
Looks like it supports data transmission ✅
This is what i have in my cart so far
vale merlin
sorry for the delay, but looks like you got everything, congratulations!
opal bear
Thanks! Im gonna order them tomorrow!
opal bear
One more question sorry, so with just the basic Micro controller set up, will the bot restart the game as well? Like after the raid is done and it needs to restart will it do that as well? Or is that only the CC setup that waits for all people to join, run the raid, restart the game, connect to the internet and run the raid again then repeat?
hollow burrow
which program are you trying to run? not many of the MC programs reset the game (mostly SwSh ones)
opal bear
Whichever one i can for Scarlet and Violet
If it cant tho i might have to just get the CC set up then
celest tiger
There is no MC auto-host for MC. It requires CC.
opal bear
Yeah i figured 😩 its okay i’ll still start with MC then i’ll work my way up to CC
