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.

Hello,

I now updated the PicoMiteVGA from 5.08 to "PicoMiteVGAV5.09.00b4" and cleared the flash before that.

(if that matters: I am using my very own picoMiteVGA PCB, which follows the (old?) pre USB-version schematics and works fine with 5.08.

But now really strange things happen:

I connect the pico to via its USB to my computer to power it up and nothing happens, monitor will remain black, no signal. BUT as soon is I manually connect via TeraTerm
it suddenly boots and the green pico onboard led blinks, the VGA monitor now works.

Why do I NEED to connect manually via TeraTerm to boot into MMBASIC? With that update I can not use the picoMiteVGA as a stand alone computer anymore :(

Do I miss something?

Problem in short: It only boots into BASIC after connecting manually via TeraTerm...

Greetings
Daniel
