pycloader (sic)
 

For those of you who didn't know, a certain CDer made a code loader in C for Linux. 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 module, in addition to Python.

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

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

[edit]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 for testing.)[/edit]

Ryan, the owner of the IFI Linux PICloader, has gratiously allowed me to use their CVS repository 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.)
