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.

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... gtx https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BBT5b4pEGNg |

Hi Plasma, that looks interesting! Can you tell more about the code on the Mite and on the Rpi? Frank |

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. Microblocks. Build with logic. |

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. gtx |
