Hi,

some progress from my "full HD" display for the Micromite.

A Micromite sends some Commands over the serial port , the Rpi drives the Display and wraps the commands to OGL.

its funny to see some MMbasic Gfx on an full Hd Display.

the speed is ok , not much commands yet maybe much moore later.....

its only a test atm...

Hi Plasma,

that looks interesting! Can you tell more about the code on the Mite and on the Rpi?

Hi Frank ,

no problem .

on the micromite (the easy

Part i use some strings with the following format

headerbytes +gfx command+ x,y,x1,y1,switch1,schwitch2,endbytes

such like :

color = 1
rect = 2
line = 3

Print #2 , header$+","+str$(rect)+","+str$(x)+","+str$(y)+","+str$(x1)+","+str$(y1)+end$
draws a Rectangle with x,y,x1,y1

on the Rpi side i use Bmx-ng a blitzmax Port for the Rpi.
Bmx-ng supports ogl,socket,sound,key,mouse etc.
so i wrote a simple parser (lame and ugly atm) and wrapped the commands.

the Goal is to port the wrapper to Android / Ios and use an old tablet as Micromite Display.

Did you consider X-Windows?
That is something i am considering.
A uMite would then be the client.

hmm x- windows ? i dunno Microblocks

my solution is giving the micromite or every other micro pc with an serial port a full Hd display.

so you can expand the rpi gpio with an micromite and expand the micromite with a big display.

i solved some speed issues and epand the commandset.
