Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Apologies if I should already know this but is it possible to simply dump a code text file through the console port and if so, presumably there is start/end character involved?

Regards,

Yes.  Use AUTOSAVE command.

On your MM at the command prompt, type AUTOSAVE and press ENTER.

>AUTOSAVE

Right-click and PASTE your text into the console window, or if you are using GFXterm, right-click/Paste>/From text file.

Watch the code stream over the console.
When it finishes, press and hold [CTRL] and press [Z] to end the transfer.
Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!
