Arduino UNO DFU mode

Hey, im pretty new to Arduino, and I cant put mine in DFU mode. There are almost no tutorials for it on the web. When I short the pins, one of the LED's blinks a few times and nothing happens. Thanks for help in advance

Alternative to UnoJoy?

It looks like UnoJoy is no longer being maintained, and I'm having trouble flashing the firmware to my Arduino in order to use the shifter. Are there any alternatives that can be used instead?

Values all over the place / Gear Detection Issue

I just want to start by saying i apologize in advance.. This is gonna be a fun one.

Okay, so ive spent the last few hours trying to get things situated but i keep getting backed into a corner. A few things to know beforehand:
1- My potentiometers arent in the best shape and have been removed, cleaned, replaced, reinstalled, opened, and anything else you can conjure up. They DO however have a stable reading and are reliably replicating values.
2- My polarity may be backwards in the wiring to the pots, (I.E. Positive and Negative wires on either end of connection) however they are both the same so they should still work as long as values are correct.

I've gone through and recorded all values both on a graph and raw data. My issue lies where Sometimes the gearing will indicate I'm say stuck in 5th in N, 3d, 4th, and lighter ends of the side gearing, and will SOMETIMES tickle a trigger for 2nd or 6th/7th, never 1st it seems.
Other Times it will record 2nd, 4th, and 6th, but none of the others (Ive gotten it to do this once..).
I know its more than likely an issue in the values for the upper and lower axis (probably both x & y) but i cannot seem to get it set right for the life of me.
Also, i do not have the Reverse button hooked up currently, as the connector broke off the little pcb, but it still registers Reverse as always on. Once in a while the value goes to 0 but i have no control over it, as bridging the two wires together give no change in value.

Here's the values ive recorded from the arduino software:
Reverse: 1
1st: 923, 898
2nd: 700, 625
3rd: 898, 900
4th: 755, 600
5th: 946, 898
6th: 875, 624
Neutral: ~875, 740

Funky X values in 4th gear

Hey! I recently got this project working-ish after some jvm.dll hurdles...however, when I'm in 4th gear, I get X values that exceed the values I get when I'm going to 5th or 6th gear. Reverse isn't working either, but I think that's got something to do with my wiring.
Anyhow, is there a way to fix this and to get my 5th and 6th gear usable?
Thanks in advance!

Question: Would a "Beetle" microcontroller work in place of the Leonardo?

I've seen this tiny DFRobot Beetle which says is compatible with the Arduino Leonardo and at £9 is fantastic value.

I think this is pin-compatible with the diagrams posted in this repo but I wondered what others thought as my electronics knowledge is rudimentary at best.

From what I can see of the wiring diagram pins A0, A2, and +5v are labeled and obvious, ground looks like it's next to +5v and, according to the wiring diagram, D2 is labeled as SDA on the underside.

What are your thoughts? Should this tiny little board be a straight forward replacement for the Leonardo?

GEARS not recognize

I have my shifter in gear neutral and it is getting recognize as gear 3. I changed the up and down values high and low but still wont fix.
