For those of you who didn't know, a certain CDer made a code loader in C for Linux (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ifi-picloader/). He calls it picloader.

Now my thing. I looked at his source, parsed it out, and ported it to Python (the language), creating pycloader.

The thing is, I don't actually know what's wrong with it (it doesn't work). So I thought I would post it on ChiefDelphi and see what all you bright people made of it.

It requires the pySerial (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/) module, in addition to Python.

The command is:
pycloader <hexfile> <port>
eg, for your first serial port, loading file mycode.hex (that's in the current directory), use this:
pycloader mycode.hex 0
(You could also use "COM1" on windows or "/dev/ttyS0" on Linux.)

Post comments/fixes here, or e-mail me directly.

I forgot to mention how it's broken. It appears to load the code, but it doesn't do anything. The old code is still there. (Thanks to Bharat Nain (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/member.php?u=5865) for testing.)

Ryan, the owner of the IFI Linux PICloader (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ifi-picloader/), has gratiously allowed me to use their CVS repository (https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=98989) on SourceForge for this project.

(Ok, he actually made me administrator of the whole project, probably having something to do with the fact he is now in college at Berkly.)
