Hello Peter

I have been trying out PicoMiteV5.07.05RC6.

I have had to amend one of my programs due to the removal of the "OC" setpin option. I understand the reason for this change as described in previous posts.

However, is it possible to allow the output state of pins to be set before the setpin(x),DOUT command. The following code causes a brief unwanted 0V pulse to be sent.

' Initialise OC output
setpin (24),DOUT
pin (24) = 0 ' Causes unwanted 0V pulse
setpin (24),DIN

What I ideally want to do is:

' Initialise OC output
pin (24) = 0
setpin (24),DIN
..
..
' Main program
setpin (24),DOUT ' Pin only goes low when required

Just looked at the manual, it says "You can set an output high or
low before it is configured as an output and that setting will be the default
output when the SETPIN command takes effect." - which is exactly what I want to do!

I can report that the Advanced graphics control handling is much improved over the previous PicoMiteV5.07.05b18 release, but there are still occasional blips.

'Spinner' arrows occasionally stay in the pressed position and the spinner locks and occasionally pressing a 'button' causes a beep but does not cause an interrupt. As I said, these issues are less problematic than previously.

MM.INFO$(RESET) is not working.
