No FILES, or SAVE so just the 'listed'

You can change it easily enough via the serial terminal but if you want a computer with FILES etc then it's a Maximite I think.

Or slap a Propeller with an SD card onto it like we did..

Thanks

My programs are pretty short (and loops)
I guess I'll have 1 long program with several
'reminders to direct to differant 'subroutines'

You're not missing anything.

The MicroMite is a MICRO-controller, not a computer per-se', whereas the MAXImite is a computer - as it has a keyboard, monitor, and SD card storage.

The MicoMite is a one-program device, as you have guessed. No SAVE or FILES, as there is no SD card - temporarily ignoring the fab MMC by Oldbitcollector.....

It's just like the PICAXE or Arduino in that respect - runs the one program code you put in it, and by DEFAULT, there is no ability to access external storage, unless you add that youself.

I knew (obviously) it had no external storage.
I figured it would address the internal storage
the same way the MaxiMite addresses the SD ....
But that is fine ... As I said above, 1 long program
with stopping places is OK for my purposes ....

Oh - I see - sorry - I misunderstood you there.

@oldbitcollector. The above raises a good point; and a feature that was useful on the MaxiMite:
I am not near my MMC at the moment so I can't try this right now - and hence this post.

Is there a way that one running .bas program can call/load/run another .bas program? OR do you need 'manual' intervention to do SD operations?

I missed this question/thread. I apologize.

I had this feature on my "todo" list until Geoff increased the capability of the BASIC to 54k. I've been a bit "up in the air" on this since as I've never used more than about 17% of the 54k I have.

Is there still reasoning to have this ability with the memory we have now?
