has anyone noticed this before:

> 9 edit
Micromite MMBasic Ver 4.6 Beta 1
Copyright 2011-2014 Geoff Graham

>

at the command prompt, typing a "line number" followed by certain commands causes a reboot. i've tried '9 edit' and '9 cpu'. '9 memory' doesn't reboot and does the same as 'memory'.

tested with 4.5C and 4.6 Beta 1

@RR

Thank you ! I've been looking for a way of causing a MMBasic reset in software and looks like you have found the way, although not quite as good as the h/w method.

@Geoff

could we please have an official way of causing a complete reset of MMBasic via the CLI, ie erase program, and all OPTION settings, eg CTRL+C, RESET CRLF ?

I'm asking for this capability because as part of my PIC32 programmer, I need to reset the uMite.

BTW, this is a very, very, very low priority request, there are far more important things to get done first.

Many thanks

Peter

the command "WATCHDOG 5" in your code (or at the command line) nicely does a reset, i've been using it to check that the startup message displays correctly with newly created micromites for quite a while.

EDIT and it will also fix this bug (a good find BTW Rob).Edited by Geoffg 2014-10-27
