Hello
first, congratulations for the work.

I have a little problem:
I used this version on a raspi2 / Jessie. I installed a lcd 3.2"/3buttons

ref

I put the option "lcdpanel" (OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9341, L, 15,13,24) and tested with "line 0,0,100,200 ". its Ok
After I added the option "touch" (OPTION TOUCH 16,21), then launched "gui calibrate".
Impossible to calibrate.I dn't know if it is a problem hard or if this option is not installed on the screen, after that I wanted to remove the "touch" option.

the problem is that it has also remove the "lcdpanel" option and impossible to work with lcd in mmbasic. To work correctly, I must delete ".option" , and after that I raise it, and finally I put back the option lcdpanel

I specify that I have not tested with olders versions

This will happen if T_IRQ or T_CS are being held low for some reason. T_IRQ would cause continuous interrupts. T_CS would enable the XPT2046 and corrupt the SPI bus. I haven't used this display but the functionality has been tested OK on a normal ILI9341 with discrete wiring

I love being able to draw to an HDMI screen, but I can't seem to be able to draw text.
Line, box,and circle work fine, but so far text just does not appear. No mention of a text command in the manual, so quite possibly missing something...
Anyone else had more success?
TIA, Dave

The pi-cromite manual only has commands that are new or different from the MM and MM+ so for those which have not changed see the MM and MM+ manuals.

Further to the above I've found I can display the string Time$ if I use a 'y value' of one.
Anything larger will move the text up and off the screen proportionally.
Text commands that have worked on dozens of mites and lcd screens just dont seem to display...

Looks like a bug I introduced in the last release - haven't got a development environment available at the moment but will try and cobble something together

UPDATE

Try this (untested)

Dear Peter!
I use the "SETTICK PERIOD,TARGET" in my program for RPi 3B. If I set the period to less than 10 ms, the interrupt will still come with a period of 10 ms. It seems that the period can be set only by a multiple of 10 ms. The MMbasic manual says "The period can range from 1 to 2147483647 ms". How to make a period of a multiple of 1 ms?

Sorry but you can't. The resolution of the tick timer is 10msec on the Pi-cromite. This is a limitation of the pigpio library. I will update the Pi-cromite documentation to make this clear.Edited by matherp 2018-02-16

This is an amazing project
Looking through the docs you've listed the pinout for compatibility with other pcb's
You have TOUCH-IRQ on pin 24 and TOUCH-CS on pin 26
but I cannot see which pin you use for T_CLK
or does it use pin 23 SPI-CLK which would make T_DO Pin 19 and T_DIN Pin 21?

Could someone beso kind as to answer the following as well please?
There are so many pages about the Pi-cromite but I cannot find what you actually do to start MM on the Pi

And what settings you have to config with the various Displays

I know they are listen in the MM+ manual but I would assume they are different for the Pi?

How do you read from the SD card on the Pi? and Where on the SD card do you store images for use with the Pi?
for instance on the MM+ I would Load image "test.bmp" ,248,330 'load picture x,y
Or is it simply the same command?

Yes

Quote How do you read from the SD card on the Pi?

Same as the MM+

Quote There are so many pages about the Pi-cromite but I cannot find what you actually do to start MM on the Pi

Page 6 of the manual attached to the first page of this thread

Quote Where on the SD card do you store images for use with the Pi?

Easiest place is the same as the mmbasic executable or a sub directory thereof
