I finally got around to try out the new upload tool.
The result is nothing short of spectacular!
Ctrl-D to exit the thing! Cool! Nostalgia, sort of, I know :-)
Command history! Bash for controllers, sort of :-)))

This tool is going to be very useful for the class I give once
in a while. Thank you for writing and publishing!

I found a minor thing that puzzles me:

|I=mcudef
|I=using device.py for atmega32

|C|    6|\ A named port pin puts a bitmask on stack, wherin the 
set bit indicates which
|C|    7|\ bit of the port register corresponds to the pin.
|C|    8|\ And then puts the address of its port on stack too.
|W|    9|
|C|   10|\ Use it this way:
|C|   11|\ PORTD 7 portpin: PD.7  ( define portD pin #7)
|E|   12|\ PD.7 high              ( turn portD pin #7 on, i.e. 
set it high-level)
|E=Illegal nested comment
make: *** [marker] Error 1

Illegal nested comment? Not quite. "\ " starts a comment, which
extends to the end of line, no questions asked. This is probably
simple to fix, but I have not yet looked into the code.


Cheers,
