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.

Using the Pico board with the Waveshare 2.8" display and the Waveshare Pico GPS it is possible to make Geoff's boat computer plug and play. Pico compatible code BoatComputerV6.zip Changes to Geoff's code are minimal to match the Pico with one small but important functional change which is to accept GNRMC as well as GPRMC OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP10,GP11,GP12 OPTION AUTORUN ON OPTION LCDPANEL ST7789_320, RLANDSCAPE,GP8,GP15,GP9,GP13 OPTION TOUCH GP16,GP17 GUI CALIBRATE 0, 3927, 195, -895, 650 OPTION SDCARD GP22 Edited 2022-12-03 22:50 by matherp |

Probably the same setup would run Geoff's Super Clock as well? Bill Keep safe. Live long and prosper. |

Peter am I right in thinking that this 3.5" would work the same as this one with picomite? it says the driver is ILI9488 |

Would it need some soldering, though? John |

No soldering if the GPS is the time source. As far as I can see. Bill Keep safe. Live long and prosper. |

Then maybe run it on a RP2040-Plus with a 105080 lipo 5000 mA battery and make it all portable? #MeTo ZX81 |

That might work - but just remember that the RP2040 Plus isn't a supported platform for MMBasic. There could just possibly be trip-ups. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |
