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
I've got Pi running on the board I made to interface with the SSD1963 LCD
I can talk to it through a USB cable, or via WiFi with no issues

Where do I put the mmbasic program and the actual program to run on the Pi and also any images to use?

This is my folder tree - I used FileZilla to FTP to the PI
but Putty also works fine

I did ask before on another thread where to put images and I was told I believe the root folder but I'm not sure what that means

Is the the root folder you can see on Windows when you look at the card with an SD Cardreader?
Or is it the folder named Pi?
or another folder?

Also
when I talk to the Pi via Putty it works great, but once I close and reopen Putty it will not connect to the Pi again until after I reboot the Pi
Is this normal or is there a special way to close Pi?
I've never actually really used Pi before other than just install and uninstall it a couple of times previously.




EDIT: ON the SSD1963 I'm getting no display at all
Do I have to move the 0Ω resistor from LED_A to PWM on the back of the display?

Hi Lewis,
You should use the PWM jumper on the display.




An mmbasic directory under home/pi directory is where the mmbasic file can go.

I have put and img directory under that to put images in, just to keep it tidy. Just need prefix "img/" to the file name so its found from MMbasic


LOAD IMAGE "img/"+JSON$(a(),"daily.data[5].icon"),0,268


I also have a file called mm in the home/pi directory with contents:


cd mmbasic
sudo ./mmbasic


So to start mmbasic it is just

./mm


Regards
Gerry
