Propeller files on USB stick

Is it possible to download the programming software, and keep all your programs you write as well as the Parallax software on a memory stick? I travel quite a bit with a work laptop, and the company does not allow any executable non-work files to be installed on the laptop. If I could work off a USB stick it may be worth jumping into the Propellor. The unofficial expo in Ottawa IL in May is getting me interested, I am only 1.5 hours from there!

Wade,

I can't answer your question but can share your situation.· Eventually I got fed up with all the nonesense and told my employer - "You want me to travel, so you will let me put what I want on the computer and use it for whatever I want after work hours".· I didn't give them an option, I just did it.· Granted, I work for a small company so they tend to be a bit more flexible when they are the ones pushed into the corner ;-)

You could run BST off a USB memory stick.· The only thing that would have to be installed on the laptop would be whatever USB drivers are needed.· If your laptop has a real serial port, you wouldn't need the USB driver.· You could probably get your IT department to allow you to install FTDI's USB to serial adapter's driver on the laptop itself since it's a widely used adapter and they could get the driver directly from FTDI.

Do you have an SD on your prop? If so, you could use Sphinx/SphinxOS and compile on your prop.
