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.

This post is more about saying a very big thanks you to Peter (matherp) for the work he is doing on the ARM series. In particular (in this case) Turtle graphics.

When I first read the post about the addition, I placed the info aside for a rainy day as I remembered it from many (to many) years ago. I was having a problem visualising automated cutting control commands that I had coded for my ongoing project. I was testing the code on my workshop Machine itself and this was a royal pain.

I now had a reason to load Peters latest version of MM.Basic and use Turtle Graphics.

For something like this it is a Godsend, seriously, I was able to pop the Turtle into the same code that generated the X/Y cutter movement and generate a complete display of the finished interconnecting workpiece instantly on screen. Being able to input various cutting parameters and have an instant display of the result on screen is the icing on the cake. The Ease and speed of coding using these simple Turtle graphic commands is what was so impressive. I had fully finished Display Page, menu items and an perfect output on screen in under an hour.

On the H7, MM.Basic is just a brilliant implementation of not only Geoff's fabulous MM.Basic and Peters Port to the ARM series, but also the fantastic additions that he had added.

So once again thankyou Peter.

And it still hasn't fallen over or missed a beat. Amazing

Mike.
