Quick way to reprogram drones?

[osmarks 0]

I'm working on a basic OS for drones. However, development is very slow, because I can't find a way to replace a drone's EEPROM without disassembling it. Is there an easier way or do I have to suffer with this?

I believe crafting your drone, in the player crafting gui or crafting table gui, with the new eeprom will return the old eeprom and place the new one in the drone.

That doesn't seem to work. I put an EEPROM and assembled drone into my inventory crafting thingy, and nothing appeared in the output box.

It doesn't really matter now anyway, as I've managed to get a program to just download code from the internet on every boot to work.

Okay, good thinking. I know it's possible, I just can't remember really how to do it

 

Drone

Drones are built using a Drone Case in the Assembler. They are entity-based “robots”, a little cheaper but with more limited functionality. They can not interact with external components!

They have no secondary storage and so are programmed entirely by using an eeprom. Once assembled, a drone can be reprogrammed by crafting it with a new eeprom (its old eeprom is returned).
