Hi I've got Pi running on the board I made to interface with the SSD1963 LCD I can talk to it through a USB cable, or via WiFi with no issues Where do I put the mmbasic program and the actual program to run on the Pi and also any images to use? This is my folder tree - I used FileZilla to FTP to the PI but Putty also works fine I did ask before on another thread where to put images and I was told I believe the root folder but I'm not sure what that means Is the the root folder you can see on Windows when you look at the card with an SD Cardreader? Or is it the folder named Pi? or another folder? Also when I talk to the Pi via Putty it works great, but once I close and reopen Putty it will not connect to the Pi again until after I reboot the Pi Is this normal or is there a special way to close Pi? I've never actually really used Pi before other than just install and uninstall it a couple of times previously.  EDIT: ON the SSD1963 I'm getting no display at all Do I have to move the 0Ω resistor from LED_A to PWM on the back of the display? |

Hi Lewis, You should use the PWM jumper on the display.  An mmbasic directory under home/pi directory is where the mmbasic file can go. I have put and img directory under that to put images in, just to keep it tidy. Just need prefix "img/" to the file name so its found from MMbasic LOAD IMAGE "img/"+JSON$(a(),"daily.data[5].icon"),0,268 I also have a file called mm in the home/pi directory with contents: cd mmbasic sudo ./mmbasic So to start mmbasic it is just ./mm Regards Gerry F4 H7FotSF4xGT |
