Has anyone tried downloading one picaxe through another?
I have a string of picaxes linked one to another through serial links daisy chained across an open space. It is tiresome to take each out in order to optimise my program. Each has the same program.
The plan would be to ripple load a boot loader into each and then pass the new program down the boot loaders for loading. So it would be loaded first into the very end of the chain, then into the one before that and so on until the device at the start of the chain (or perhaps the one after that) was finally loaded. Presumably one device (the top device) would retain the ability to download programs. By this stage all the boot loaders would be overwritten.
Is the standard loading protocol used by the PC available for public use?
Is there another better/cheaper way?
