PropellerLoader

No matter how hard I try, the OBEX propeller loader will not let its self be put into a new cog.

I tried to add this to the top of the propellerloader.spin file.


  long  cogon, cog                                      ' cog status
  long  ProStack[noparse][[/noparse]1100]                                    ' local stack

PUB Start (a, b, c, d, e, f) : okay
  
  stop                                                  ' stop cog for this object if running
  okay := cogon := (cog := cognew(Connect(a, b, c, d, e, f), @ProStack)) > 0


PUB stop

  '' Unload timer object - frees a cog

  if cogon~                                             ' if object running, mark stopped
    cogstop(cog)


'the rest of the code is the same as propeller loader.

PUB Connect(PinRESn, PinP31, PinP30, Version, Command, CodePtr) : Error

What am I doing wrong?

I try to lauch it by using this:

loader.Start(PropRst, PropRx, PropTx, 1, loader#LoadRun, @PropBinary)

Not much to go on really. Does it work if you don't put it into a separate cog?

Hmm, i don't know why I didn't think to try that..

Will try.

Yes it works if I just run

Connect(a, b, c, d, e, f)

instead of

okay := cogon := (cog := cognew(Connect(a, b, c, d, e, f), @ProStack)) > 0

I have done this with a different object and it works fine, no idea why this doesn't like it.

Even if I run

cognew(Connect(a, b, c, d, e, f), @ProStack) It still won't run.

I checked the syntax in the prop manual and it shows the same thing.

PropellerLoader works for me, only when you don't launch it into a new cog.

If you need help getting it to work, I can help you. Its a really cool feature to have.

I just can't make it work in a new cog.

Oh, I couldn't get it to work altogather! I think that I wired it wrong, though. I will try it agian when I get my new PE kit.
