hi all

fantastic to see MMbasic ported to pico.. thanks for all the great work!
i've started a new project, i prototyped it on micromite and now I want to expand it using pico.

however, I'm getting some frustrating errors.

I want to use a pair of audio pins. However, "option audio GP2,GP3" returns
Error : Pin 4 is in use
or
Error : Audio already configured

"setpin 4,off : setpin 5,off" seems to fix it once

however the next time I run the code, I get this error
Error : Pin 4 is reserved on startup

Anyone know what to do?

Thanks
Joe

jovian said however, I'm getting some frustrating errors.

1. What does OPTION LIST display?
2. What is your Picomite firmware version? Are you running Picomite or Picomite VGA?
3. You posted this in "Guestbook" forum, better response if it was posted in "Microcontrollers".

hi
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you and thank you for your help.
I misunderstood how this is implemented.
In the past I have used the option command in a program. It looks like the "option audio" command cannot be used in a program, as the first time it runs it configures, and the second time it runs, it returns an error.
This is a pain in the arse because I have 50 picos to configure, and as I'm using them as embedded processors, they simply make no sound if I forget to pre-configure them.
It would be fantastic if MM basic just ignored the option audio command if it was already configured.
But at least it's working and I'm having fantastic time!
Cheers
Joe
