AVRChick is a simple serial uploader for the Arduino and AVR microcontrollers with a serial bootloader.

AVRChick is a Chrome extension designed for trouble-free uploads of hex files to Arduino or AVR microcontrollers. It functions on any system that runs the Chrome browser, including Chromebook, Chromebox, etc., without necessitating a plug-in. Whether you wish to reset your Arduino software, test connectivity, or program your Arduino with a .hex file, AVRChick is your go-to solution. Please note, however, that it is not an Arduino IDE substitute and requires a pre-compiled version of your Arduino sketch for successful uploads.

It worked... -Ish When I cliced test, both TX and RX LEDs on my arduino blinked, but stopped. Thats probably what its supposed to do, but I cannot import anything. Does NOT work.

Does not have a serial port monitor so you can tell if the Arduino is outputting anything or not.
