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. please help, using
PicoMite MMBasic RP2350A Edition V6.00.02
ili9341 lcd and tried "lissajours" prog that works vga and hdmi but not lcd, just draws graticule.
I tried FRAMEBUFFER merge F,L,N no luck

As your program is intended for a RP2350 with 320 x 240 panel and I am using a RP2040 with 480 x 320 panel there isn't enough memory for FRAMEBUFFER LAYER as well as framebuffer “F” so modified it a bit to get it to run. As expected on this setup it is a bit slow but runs ok.

If this code runs for you you can then try adding FRAMEBUFFER LAYER.

cheers phil99 for the reply.
point is why the code works hdmi and vga but not 320x240 ili9341, read the manual and seems ok.
I did oscilloscope on same lcd with graticule drawn once and scope display on top and then send to the screen, ok.
the idea is draw the graticule once on a layer. I can do without the graticule and just the Lissajous. stan

Replaced the ILI9488 with a ILI9341, allowing smaller framebuffers so 2 will fit in memory.
Messed about with layers etc till it worked with the graticule. Could not get the [,B] parameter to work properly with most of the Lissajous missing. Maybe that is only for the RP2350?
Anyway this works smoothly without ,B on a RP2040 so may be even better on a RP2350.

Remember that the B option is asynchronous, so if you trigger a background frame buffer copy and then immediately start redrawing the screen, you will get some combination of the original screen you had drawn before doing the copy and parts of any new screen updates you do after doing the background copy. To prove to yourself this is the case, simply do a pause 100 or whatever is necessary to give you the correct screen updates immediately after the background copy is requested, unfortunately this very approximately will use the same amount of time as if you had not used the B option.
The advantage of the B option is that you perform some other calculations immediately after issuing the background copy and save the writing to screen till later, when hopefully the background copy has completed.

Peter,

A real oscilloscope (CRT) has the graticule in front of the phosfor.

Later models wrote the graticule onto the same phosfor, but die to both being the same color you could not tell the difference.

Does this work? please see my test prog above

NOT HDMI AND VGA VERSIONS
FRAMEBUFFER COPY
from, to [,b]

Does a highly optimised full screen copy of one framebuffer to another.
"from" and "to" can be N, F, or L where N is the physical display.
You can only copy from N on displays that support BLIT and transparent text.
The firmware will automatically compress or expand the RGB resolution when
copying to and from unmatched framebuffers.
Of course copying from RGB565 to RGB121 loses information but for many
applications (eg, games) 16 colour levels is more than enough.
When copying to an LCD display the optional parameter “b” can be used
(FRAMEBUFFER COPY F/L, N, B). This instructs the firmware to action the
copy using the second CPU in the Raspberry Pi Pico and control returns
immediately to the Basic program

In this version Copy is almost the same as Merge. However with Copy drawing the black circles overwrites the blue box but if you uncomment FRAMEBUFFER merge and comment the next line the blue box doesn't get overwritten.

It appears Merge writes F first then puts L on top so they have been swapped compared to your original.

G'day,
I think what Stan has encountered is the same problem seen here, I assumed it was my own stupidity so left it go  

Tested on ILI9341 and ILI9488:
FRAMEBUFFER MERGE 0: locks up PicoMite - ctrl c does nothing
FRAMEBUFFER MERGE 0,B: Does not lock up PicoMite - NO output to display

Also tried other combinations, same outcome.
ILI9488 has MISO disconnected.

Option default integer

FRAMEBUFFER create
FRAMEBUFFER layer

FRAMEBUFFER write l
Box 100,50,200,100,4,RGB(blue)

FRAMEBUFFER write f
Box 125,75,150,50,4,RGB(blue)-1

'FRAMEBUFFER copy l,f
'FRAMEBUFFER copy f,l
'FRAMEBUFFER copy l,n
'FRAMEBUFFER copy f,n
FRAMEBUFFER merge 0
'FRAMEBUFFER merge 0,b

Print "Done"

End

G'day Phil,
Hopefully that means its confined to my / Stans setup or only RP2350 versions.
I don't have a RP2040 with enough memory connected to an LCD to test.

Can anyone else please try on RP2530 and confirm?

Regards,
Lyle.

The "FRAMEBUFFER merge 0" problem with 2350 platforms must be brought to Peter's attention. Maybe make a bug report in the 6.01.00 thread.
I have not run into it yet, but would otherwise very soon (trying to make a game for game*mite).
