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.

I *think* I've found most of the changes since the last manual. If not then there's probably enough here to remind you.

copied it. lots to read. thanks. lots changed so short time.. pico2
Loads to read. dynamic and ephemeral describes mmbasic. more so since pico2.
the casual intro of pio stuff and programming in 2040 is nowt like the hightech stuff and asm posted now for pico2. someone posted it was a train. ie pico2.
will it replace 2040? in mmbasic, only if it's sorted by one bloke

Cheers Mick

Just wondering; Lots of VGA monitors with touchscreen via USB. I wonder if they will work and can we turn-off the mouse pointer?

Buy one and tell us. :)
Absolutely no idea whatsoever,


Incidentally, video Mode 3  appears to be 640x480x4 bits - not 640x3200x4 bits.

Yeah, already have one. Just don't have a PicoMite with USB yet.

I can understand how that would slow you down a bit. :)

*If* the touchscreen controller emulates a mouse then you are in business. If it emulates a tablet then probably not. I'm afraid you won't know until you try it.


-------------------

I just found the manual for this monitor. I doubt very much if the touchscreen could be made to work on a Pico at all. It requires a USB driver to be loaded into Windows. If it was emulating a mouse then that wouldn't be needed.

It also has RS232 and I have the protocol for my QuickBasic DOS system. I'll just stick an RS232 module on the PicoMite instead.
