Uh hu. As you may have seen on earlier posts, I started out with web7
days kit. I have now 'upgraded' to Olimex, but still have thier wriggler.

Now, early on in the show I saw the comms channel loader, and I knew
that the bootloader used the serial port, so I kind off assumed that
the comm loader option was for use together with the serial port.....I
attached a serial leaded to com1 and it started to work. I still had
some difficulty but found that the target board did not have the 3v3
connected and it was running througth the protection diodes. I also
noted that the ground pins on the wriggler side were not connected to
gnd, gns was only connected on the // port side, but I assumed that
previously it had been getting 0V via the serial.

Of course it had, but I had not realised that was the **only** reason
I was getting more results by connecting the serial cable :-o

I have been working away assuming that the Flash debug option was
using the serial port to mod the code!

BTW, Be wary of saving a few dollars with web 7 days.....they really
are rock bottom quality wise!

The Olimex stuff works fine, and well built, allthougth the V.regs
could do with a bit more heatsinking, I would reccomend using a
regulated supply @ about 7V.
