Tip: Programming two Propellers at the same time

Chuck Rice

.
I am working on getting two propellers talking via serial. It was a big
hassle having to switch the Prop Plug from board to board. By getting
a second Prop Plug and using Remy's Python Loader you can switch
back and forth with ease.

Been using it tonight and it works very well. You just start two copies of
Loader.py in watch mode, using two different serial port devices and the
two binary files. Then when you make a change and compile, just save the
Binary and it will load the binary into the correct propeller. -Chuck-

With the new version of the Propeller you can program any number of chips simultaneously. In Preferences>Files & Folders uncheck "Associated files launch into a single editor", this allows multiple copies of Tool to run, then set the com port in each Tool to each Propeller coonected.
