 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. |

http://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip V5.07.02b0 Support for 1.28" round GC9A01 240x240 display as requested by Lewis  Picture does not do the display justice. It is crystal clear and bright, with an excellent viewing angle Configuration for this display. NB: it doesn't use MISO so no BLIT or transparent text and uses (abuses) GP12 which is normally MISO OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP10,GP11,GP28 OPTION LCDPANEL GC9A01, LANDSCAPE,GP8,GP12,GP9,GP13 Backlight is on GP13 and works conventionally (100 is full bright) Edited 2021-12-15 20:17 by matherp |

A thing of beauty but at an eye watering price. Do you write to it as if it were a square 240x240 display and it just ignores pixels that are out of field ? Best wishes, Tom Edited 2021-12-15 20:26 by thwill Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Yes It could be yours for free |

a) That requires me to have a good idea first. b) There might be a conflict of interest given that I suspect Lewis is hoping for (and will receive) my help in implementing his intended use for this device. Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Seems to be fubar for me too. Windoze can see the contents of the .zip but only the "PicoMite_Current_Bug_List.txt" file can be extracted; it just contains two intro lines and some ====, no actual bugs. Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

At the time of posting there were no know bugs in 5.07.01 I can download the zip with no issue. Clear cache etc. |

Same result, I can download it but I can't extract it except for the bug list .txt file. Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

i have found some of the .zip files posted to be unreadable (or one or two files within to be unreadable) when looking at the .zip file using the GUI-based 'Archive Manager' 3.36.3 that is bundled as part of linux mint 2032/xfce. however, using the bundled CLI 'unzip' command (UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Debian. Original by Info-ZIP), everything is fine. i suspect the problem is that the .zip files are being created with something that introduces an odd/obscure incompatibility that affects some (but not all) unzip programs out there. the idea may be for the archives to be created using the simplest, most basic, options. since there are so many different compression options and variations available in modern zip file creation programs, it is easy to end up with a .zip file that makes use of something that is not universally supported. cheers, rob :-) |

Very possibly Rob, but I suspect Peter is just using the standard Windoze tooling (?) and creating it with "Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder" and likewise I'm just double-clicking in Windows Explorer and using the default tooling. Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

my suspicion is that the 'default tooling' is what is causing the problem! cheers, rob :-) |

Thank you Peter, that seems to have fixed the problem. Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

http://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip V5.07.02b1 Fixes bug in ON KEY keyno,int Increases drive level for SDcard output pins (CD, MOSI and CLOCK) which MAY improve SDcard reliability when the SPI bus is loaded with additional devices (LCD and/or touch) Reduces maximum file name length to 63 characters but increase maximum files that can be listed with FILES command to 1000 |

Hello Peter, Is that maximum filename length or maximum path length ? If the former then what is the latter, 128 chars ? Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

| matherp Guru Joined: 11/12/2012 Location: United KingdomPosts: 8578 |
It was 127 on all my ports I'm pretty sure it relates to the maximum length of any single element of a directory or filename. All of course subject to a 255 character maximum. Seems more useful on the Picomite to allow more files rather than silly long filenames but could be reversed |

Hello, is it possible to switch the console from USB to a COM port so that a serial connection with a specified baudrate could be used as console? (If not would that be difficult to implement?) Cheers, Fred |
