It would be nice to be able to load a hex file using the Arduino IDE and UNO as ISP. I have read in another thread that a person should just use AVR Dude but, it would make my life easier to do it with the IDE.
In my thoughts the menu would be like this:
- load Uno with ISP sketch
- select load hex with UNO
- open hex file
- select upload hex to target board
Any thoughts?
How the step 3 fits with the ide? where that option should be invoked in your idea?
Eried thanks for your response.
Perhaps 3) should say select the hex file to upload.
At the moment for a person to upload a hex file, they have to use an ISP and AVRDude. Then, the user needs to type command prompts for the process to work properly. I find it to be a confusing process...although I may need to learn how it is doing anyway.
I think it would be great if the IDE made the process easier for the user similarly, to uploading sketches using ISP.
Thank you for all your efforts! Your AER IDE is my absolute favorite!
