Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

We have a new stable release version of the Colour Maximite 2's firmware and documentation available for download from https://geoffg.net/maximite.html (scroll to the bottom of the page). This is Ver 5.06.00 and is a significant release which wraps up all the changes made in the recent beta versions. These includes performance improvements, dozens of bug fixes and many new features including extended MATH and IMAGE commands and a beta version of the 3D graphics engine. This represents a huge effort by Peter Mather over the past four months with lots of input from the community on this forum. Congratulations to everyone involved. The user manual has been updated and includes change bars in the left margin to identify most changes from the previous version. The source code at http://mmbasic.com has been updated and if you have downloaded any previous versions of the source you can use the same link to download this version.

Yes. Thank you guys. Seeing the speed of Peter's releases was awe-inspiring. I think a well earned rest is deserved. |

+1 for all the hard work put in by Peter and Geoff to get the CMM2 to where it is today. Thanks to you both. For Geoff: on page 110 of the User Manual near the bottom of the page, the function MATH(CORREL ... seems to be displaced from the description and subsequently mis-aligns the following MATH descriptions. Doug. ... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it! |

I'm trying to re-flash the CMM2 with this firmware (it arrived as v5.05). Using CMM2 pre-built (not the WaveShare board) and I'm on MacOS. I'm not able to put the CMM2 in DFU mode, Have opened up the unit and switched the BOOT0 jumper, but the CMM2 continues to show "MCP2221 USB-I2C/UART Combo" after a power cycle, pid/vid 0x00dd/0x04d8. What might be going wrong here? -jcw |

Ok, solved with a USB-A to USB-A cable - the other port. Mighty inconvenient to require a special cable, but yeah, it works. -jcw |

The CMM2 is in DFU mode and the USB/UART won't change it is just a serial connection. The issue is whether/how MacOS can run DFU over a serial connection |

Hi, I'm very interested, how did you flash it with A-A cable on Mac? I'm able to flash it with A-B cable (virtual serial port) with CLI app: /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI -c Port=/dev/tty.usbserial-AD0JHH4Z P=NONE -W /Users/jirsoft/Downloads/Colour_Maximite_2_MMBasic\-2/CMM2V5.06.00.bin 0x08000000 -v (the bold need to be changed to right serial port) but it doesn't work with Piotr's Deluxe version (many errors). And I don't know the right parameters for A-A cable Jiri Napoleon Commander and SimplEd for CMM2 (GitHub), Â CMM2.fun |

I loaded the new version (5.06.00) the other day on both of my CMM2's and it works great! Also the new manual is the best one yet. Thanks to Geoff and Peter for their awesome work! -Bill |

Bill, Where did you get the instructions to upgrade your CMM2, did you use Appendix G in the manual ? I have some CMM2's from CG and need to upgrade from V5.05.05 to 5.06.00, I don't want to chance bricking the chip. Lou Microcontrollers - the other white meat |

You can't brick one due to any kind of failed update! The CPU chip has an internal ROM which handles updates. (I guess you can kill one with mains power or some such, though.) John |
