Stache for Propeller
My SuperMill· - out in the shop- only has a computer with Windows ME.· This means that if I need to change the program or update the DAT list, I will have to disconnect the Prop, bring it·into the office where I have the Propeller Tool, update it, then take it back out to the shop and connect everything up again.· Has any thought been given to a Stache for the Propeller?· I would buy the first one.

the EEPROM will just have boot code that boots from the SD card.

I appreciate your interest in a pstachio. A couple of other people had asked too about a Stache for Propeller, but I don't know. It seems to me as other posts here suggest, that there are so many alternatives with Propeller.
I'd think that one could program one propeller, and then plug it into another unprepped propeller and clone the program from the first into the second. The key is knowledge of the protocol. I'm not sure if Chip and Jeff have documented that yet. It is not straight ascii, as it uses ratiometric timing, so that it can work with the uncalibrated 12mhz RC oscillator.

I think the best bet for me right now is to plug in a ZIF soclet in the new board and in the board here in the office.· That way I can easily bring the Prop from the shop in here, reprogram it, then take it back out to the shop.· Nice and clean, so special wiring for Resn or BOEn, and using the ZIFs will preclude any damage to the Prop pins.

you could use a lil setup like a propstick, with a mating connector on it to plug into your remote propellor's programing interface, maybe a 4 pin like usbtoser, and download code that way ?
that would be cool. i wonder if you could make the propstick parasite the power needed off the remote prop's power supply.

But you could use the target propeller's power supply for the programmer propeller.
