Many thanks to WhiteWizard for his heroic support in getting my E100 with SSD1963 [5"] combi up and running; and which I am now enjoying programming using MMBASIC.

However, one niggle, it is necessary to issue the command CPU 80 each time I power up in order that the display panel contents are readable.

I understand from WhiteWizard that this is being addressed in a forthcoming Firmware [?] update.

However, in the meantime, I understand that following NEW command and entering a one line program via EDIT of CPU 80 and saving by F1 and then doing LIBRARY SAVE command this should result on subsequent power-ups with this single line of code being executed. Resulting in the display being readable from the start.

However on trying this in practice it does not result in a legible display as hoped/envisaged following power cycling the module.

Please can someone advise what I am doing wrong and/or need to do.

Thank you in anticipation.

Interesting.

I thought the 5" corruption issue had been fixed?

I know what you mean - I have had this problem myself, but the most recent FW fixed it. What version of MMBASIC do you have in your one? 5.04.08 should deal with that issue.

bowie,

Your CPU 80 command needs to be inside a subroutine called MM.STARTUP which is then saved in the library.

See page 46 of the Micromite Users Manual under Program Initialisation.

Welcome to the forum, ☺☺

The current V5.04.09 Beta Test version (should) have fixed the problem of corruption of the display on 5" panels.
