@Peter,

list variables does what it says, but .... the output is a bit hard to use ....

> list variables gives the following output:

DIM FLOAT F_LEN_MMDIM FLOAT F_SCALEDIM FLOAT F_SPEEDDIM INTEGER EVTDIM INTEGER I2CADDRDIM INTEGER I2CADDR1DIM INTEGER I2CADDR2DIM INTEGER IDLEDIM INTEGER IDXDIM INTEGER KEY_EFDIM INTEGER LONG_PRESS_SIGDIM INTEGER MEASDIM INTEGER MENUE_MODEDIM INTEGER MIN_DDIM INTEGER R1DIM INTEGER R1_F_NDIM INTEGER R1_LDIM INTEGER R1_N_FDIM INTEGER R2DIM INTEGER R2_F_NDIM INTEGER R2_LDIM INTEGER R2_N_FDIM INTEGER R_ENC_DIRDIM INTEGER R_ENC_STATEDIM INTEGER R_KEY_STATEDIM INTEGER ROT_CNTDIM INTEGER ROT_EFDIM INTEGER ROT_ENC_DIRDIM INTEGER ROT_ENC_STATEDIM INTEGER ROT_KEY_LONGDIM INTEGER ROT_KEY_STATEDIM INTEGER ROT_KEY_TIMEDIM INTEGER ROT_PIN_STATEDIM INTEGER ROT_PINNR_ADIM INTEGER ROT_PINNR_BDIM INTEGER ROT_PINNR_KEYDIM INTEGER ROT_STATE_TABLE(4)DIM INTEGER S1_BGDIM INTEGER S2_BGDIM INTEGER START_TIMEDIM INTEGER STATEDIM INTEGER STOP_VARIABLEDIM INTEGER TIME_DIFFDIM STRING PIN_ADIM STRING PIN_BDIM STRING PIN_KEYDIM STRING SCALE_TYPELOCAL INTEGER I2C_ADDRLOCAL INTEGER NUM_BTLOCAL INTEGER RANGELOCAL INTEGER READRANGECONTMMLOCAL INTEGER READREGLOCAL INTEGER REGLOCAL INTEGER REG_CONT(4)

IMHO a newline after each variable would enhance readability ...

Environment: PicoMite MMBasic RP2350A Edition V6.00.02RC7, console output via MMCC.

for me this is a long missed feature. Thank you for implementing !!

Regards,
Gerald

Note: just deleted the statement about missing DIM. Reading the output with the brain enabled did help .... sorry

There is a newline when I use it with teraterm or on the VGA or HDMI output

Quote The PIO CONFIGURE version complains about using pins double.

OK.

This is the new code doing that as you can see it checks for a PIO specified pin being either not configured, a digital input or a PIO pin for that pio.
If I read the code correctly, you have got a pin (GP1) used by PIO as the jmp pin that is configured as a digital output. I assume this is somewhat artificial and that in a real application the gate would be an externally driven pin?

The question is what to do? I think, in general, the validation is correct but perhaps I should include the ability to override it.

Thoughts?

Quote int getGPpin(unsigned char *pinarg, int pio, int base){
char code;
int pin;
if(!(code=codecheck(pinarg)))pinarg+=2;
pin = getinteger(pinarg);
if(!code)pin=codemap(pin);
if(IsInvalidPin(pin)) error("Invalid pin");
if(!(ExtCurrentConfig[pin] == EXT_NOT_CONFIG ||
ExtCurrentConfig[pin] == EXT_DIG_IN ||
(ExtCurrentConfig[pin] == EXT_PIO0_OUT && pio==0) ||
(ExtCurrentConfig[pin] == EXT_PIO1_OUT && pio==1)
#ifdef rp2350
|| (ExtCurrentConfig[pin] == EXT_PIO2_OUT && pio==2)
#endif
)) error("Pin in use");
if(PinDef[pin].GPno<base || PinDef[pin].GPno>base+31)error("Pin out of range for base %");
return PinDef[pin].GPno;

}

RC7 updated if you re-download

Fixes bug in OPTION LCDPANEL SSD1306I2C and other I2C display variants
Relaxes validation of pins in PIO CONFIGURE

Harm: Your test program and LA_24_2 (unmodified) both confirmed to run

hmm, I suspect it really should be

[sidesetbase], [sidesetno], [sidesetout],
[setbase], [setno], [setout], [outbase], [outno], [outout], [inbase],
[jmppin], [wraptarget], [wrap], [sideenable], [sidepindir],
[pushthreshold], [pullthreshold], [autopush], [autopull], [inshiftdir], [outshiftdir],
[joinrxfifo], [jointxfifo], [joinrxfifoget], [joinrxfifoput]

Although I think trailing commas can be omitted so the above should have all the bracketed parts nested (not shown as it's horrible)...

Isn't TIMER supposed to be the number of milliseconds since either power-on, reset or setting it to 0? If so, I'd expect an integer. When I print TIMER, though, it prints three decimal places. Why?

If I set TIMER to 0 at the beginning of a routine, can I just divide TIMER by 1000 at the end to get the number of seconds elapsed?

I get the same output as you do no linefeeds. I use TeraTerm 5.40 on Windows 11.

I tried setting the terminal New-line options but no combination of CR and LF changes it. My terminal ID is VT100.

Worked on all versions with a console set up but not on the standard version without an LCD configured as a console

Quote Isn't TIMER supposed to be the number of milliseconds since either power-on, reset or setting it to 0? If so, I'd expect an integer. When I print TIMER, though, it prints three decimal places. Why?

Yes but accurate to the microsecond

Yes

option list see above

PicoMite User Manual, Page 137:
PLAY PAUSE will temporarily halt the currently playing file or tone.

> play modfile "bigjapan-625.mod"
Playing biginjapan
> play pause
Error : Nothing playing

Question: Is this behaviour normal? this is my first time trying something with MODfiles, so I don't know the behaviour.

Pause isn't available with MOD files. I can probably enable it if it is genuinely useful? Alternatively, I'll just update the manual.

Counter question: Does the command "PLAY MODSAMPLE Samplenum, channel[,volume]" still work when PAUSE is active? Or would no samples be played?

Peter,

typing ~ character and CR at the commandline makes the firmware unresponsive (hang) which can only be cured by HW reset.

Tried with RP2350 with LCD and RP2350 with OLIMEX HDMI adapter

Edit: Just found out that a ~ on any position on the commandline hangs the firmware.

Are you typing the ~ (tilde) direct or through a terminal app?

If the latter it's likely the app as tilde is sometimes special.
