Hi Peter,

On the 6.01.00b11 for 2040 VGA:

1/



mm.info(lcdpanel) gives a "SYNTAX ERROR".
Not a big issue, but would have expected and empty string returned.

2/

If I connect a WII nunchuck (working system i2c) and do a WII CLASSIC OPEN it passes.
If I connect a WII classic and WII NUNCHUCK OPEN it passes.

Why are there 2 different WII xxx OPEN commands if you cannot use them to distinguish between the 2 devices. A

Not a big issue, I will work around it, but it puzzled me. I wanted to use the WII xxx OPEN to distinguish between the 2 devices, so I would know what DEVICE(xxx ) to use. But apparently it does not work that way. When there is no WII device the WII xxx OPEN generates an error, and with ON ERROR SKIP I thought I could use this to distinguish. I will issue an I2C read now, and read the type from the device, and then open the correct device immediately.
