+# FlipperZero_plugin_howto  .. aka .. FlipperZero_FAP_howto
 A simple plugin for the FlipperZero written as a tutorial example [ie. excessive documentation & error handling]
 
+If you wish to review this repository at the last point before the FAP update, use (this link)[https://github.com/csBlueChip/FlipperZero_plugin_howto/tree/21f2620035728cd04e1951c3f6a30de1cfe8a280]

+# FAP Support Has Arrived! :)
+Since the move to FAP, your "plugins" are now known as "applications"
+* "Plugins" are 
+  * Compiled in to the kernel
+  * Flashed as part of the firmware in the main SoC
+  * Require the developer to edit/maintain `/applications/meta/applications.fam`
+* "Applications" are 
+  * Compiled as separate programs
+  * Live on the SDCard
+  * Do NOT require code edits outside their own directory
+
+The upshot is easier development, and (essentailly) unlimited features on your Flipper!

 # About the bc_demo code & documentation
 * Review the `README.txt` file for an overview of the code, and how to get started.
 * Take a look in `bc_demo.c` for, frankly, an abusive amount of commenting; and overkill error-handling.
 
 The code is all M.I.T. Licensed ...take it ...use it ...butcher it ...polish it ...whatever. <br/>
 ...If you do anything cool with it, I'd love to see your creation :)

-# Compiling the demo
-You will need to add bc_demo to the system menu by editing `~/flipperZero/official//applications/meta/application.fam` in accordance with the intructions in `README.txt (Plugins) #2`<br>
-...then simply use the same compile & flash command we used previously:
-```
-cd ~/flipperZero/official/
