This assumes the user mycroft and will need modified if the default user is other than that
`/usr/bin/kinect_upload_fw`
- This is the binary that actually installs the firmware to the Kinect when attached
`/usr/local/share/kinect/UACFirmware`
- This is the firmware that gets loaded to the device
`/etc/udev/rules.d/55-kinect_audio.rules`
- The udev rules to upload firmware and allow regular user to use
#### When installed with pip
`ovos_kinect_fw`
- Run without arguments for help
## Acknowledgments

- The bin to upload to the kinect
https://github.com/dev-0x7C6/kinect-audio-firmware
