New to the forum and micromites but have been reading a bit in the background. Tanks to Geoff and many others for great contributions. I have a custom embedded networking application where I would like to consider an option of using embedded 170 micromites . Part of this application would involve custom asynchronous protocol for transferring or updating basic programs from central PC to remote micromites, this rules out existing standard xmodem protocol. Since basic program that is typically developed in PC text editor is an ASCII text file. I have means of including a custom basic Loader Library on remote micromites to detect and receive basic programs in temporary buffer. However, I would like to know how and where I can save this text file buffer in micromite 170 main program Flash? Would appreciate advice from Geoff or Peter (matherp) if this may be possible. |

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. You can save a text file in an array in RAM but you seem to want to send a text file and have that saved as a program. In that case the commands on the receiving Micromite are XMODEM or AUTOSAVE. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

You could write a custom loader as a CFunction stored in the library - see this thread for the C-source showing how I load a program from SD card on a 28 or 44-pin Micromite |
