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.

Hi All

Just starting a little project to pulse a stepper motor.
Have a UBW32 with nothing attached, and latest image.
Using Tera-Term

Typing commands and running the motor is not a problem,
I have enough programming and Basic experience to do that.

However, when I try to save the program to the flash drive with:
Save "A:Autorun.bas"
or
Save "B:Autorun.bas"

I get:
Error: SD card not found.

Typing:
Print "MM.Drive$"
I get B:

Typing:
Print "MM.Device$"
I get "Colour maximite"

So, at least B: exists, but wont let me save a single line program.

Any hints greatly appreciated.

Regards

The drivespec is not part of the Save command. Use the command Drive "A:" and then do a Save with just the filename. Did I read recently in a post from Geoff that the quotation marks were now optional in some of these commands?

I was right about the quotes. It was in the change log for V4.0a.
Change log for MMBasic Ver 4.0A
When using the RUN, SAVE or LOAD commands quote marks are no longer required around
the file name. They are still required if the command is used within a program.

Hi All

Many thanks for that, it solved the issue.
I guess these are the little oddities that are different
from some Basic's

That should have worked. It sounds like a bug to me, I will chase it up.
