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.

I'm a great fan of MMEdit, & have built a few ambious control projects, around the Explore28 platform.  I now want to migrate one project over to a PicoMite, but would like to use MMEdit, rather than type the pages & pages of code into the PicoMite, using PuTTY or TeraTerm.  I hear that there is a new version of MMEdit in progress, that will support, the PicoMite. Can anyone confirm that; if so, approximately when it is likely to be released.

I'm just so happy coding in MMEdit, where you click on the "little running man", & it just works.

Cheers Banjo

I only use putty and notepad++ as my entire IDE.

You don't have to type into any mite platform. use AUTOSAVE (F10) and paste your code into the terminal window. Then press Ctrl-Z. If you want to get really playful, you can embed a ctrl-Z (CHR 26) into the end of your code then as soon as the upload is complete you get the > prompt

With TeraTerm, at the ">" prompt, you can press F10 (AUTOSAVE), copy your text from any editor (e.g., Notepad++), paste it into Teraterm, press <Ctrl>-Z, and your code is in the PicoMite.

Hmmm, Cap'n--you beat me by, let's see 10:39 minus 10:39 equals zero minutes.

@Cap'n/lizby

This is of interest to me.

All my systems have an Android device as a HMI and therefore, I have remote access.
So I can send MMBASIC updates to the Android device and simply download to the Pico, terminated with CHR 26?

Very cool

Better still, use "autosave" as the first line of your code.

The latest V4x works with the picomite but I suggest you go with V5.

With V5, you will have to change the way you use it but one click deploy still works.
You can also drag and drop new firmware files for pain free updates.

The help files are still a work in progress but I am slowly getting there.

As a bonus you can also use Notepad++ and TeraTerm with it. Both are excellent programs.

Hi Jim,

How are you? Little presence on the forum recently. All well? Or have you been bitten by the Corona beasts also?
I hope you are well..

I was wondering if there was any news on MMedit. Especially for the pre announced linux version. Or have I missed it's release?

Don't feel stressed to do something you where not intending to do. It is just pure interest in you and in MMedit.

Volhout.

P.s. of coarse I hope the linux version will get there one day. Especially since the pico build in editor doesnt do coloring, and linux terminal programs do not allow copy/paste or even autosave. So it is sd card swapping for me.

I haven't updated the Linux version for a while but it is there on my website.
I have been using a beta version of PureBasic and it has just gone out of beta so it is time to post an update - soon.

I am doing a bit of work on it but progress is slow.
There are more pressing things going on at the moment, including chasing a melanoma around my face. Hoping to reach the end of all the digging in a month or two.

@Valhout

I have been using V5 on a Mint 20 system for a while and it works fine - the only issue I have found is that MMEdit doesn't like the colour codes in the built in Pico EDIT so I just set OPTION COLOURCODE OFF.

Jim, great program, thanks for all your efforts - hope you chase down all your health problems OK, Warm Regards, Doug.

In addition to using MMEdit, I also use Rob Rozee's GFXTerm64 terminal program on my Mint 20 system and this does display all the EDIT colour codes correctly. It also allows you to paste into the terminal screen and upload programs using Autosave - just remember to press Ctrl Z at the end of the transfer.

IF you don't like the colours rendered, you can change them in MMCC.INF
It caters for the 8 normal colours and I am not aware of any use of other colours in the editor.

There is another problem using MMCC terminal for the editor.
The picomite sends CR LF CR (an extra CR) during some activities and this screws up the terminal.
I have to look further into this problem.

Maybe talk to Peter. He may be able to make this small correction, and make your life easier. If you see what MAJOR changes he is doing between releases, this may be peanuts for him....

I have fixed the line-ending issue. You have to specify what it is expecting. That was needed for sending anyway and now receiving follows that setting.

Also fixed the scroll (I think)

I haven't published the fixes yet so it must have been something local.
