either leave the test with menue choice 0 or ctrl-c, makes no difference. 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Peter, I've boiled it a bit down. It seems that the corsor_colours() variables get corrupted when used with a turtle statement or the internal pointer to the variable is corrupted. If the colors are specified with constants, it works. The code below shows explicitly the corruption when run. On first run both loops work ok after a reset or restart. If run again, the first loop shows no cursor and the second loop crashes the program with an ivalid value for the color. This applies to all subsequent runs. ' OPTION EXPLICIT OPTION DEFAULT NONE dim cursor_colors(4) As INTEGER, i as integer Turtle RESET Turtle ST cursor_colors(0) = RGB(RED) cursor_colors(1) = RGB(GREEN) cursor_colors(2) = RGB(BLUE) cursor_colors(3) = RGB(YELLOW) cursor_colors(4) = RGB(MAGENTA) For i = 0 To 4 Turtle CURSORCOLOR cursor_colors(i) Turtle FD 40 Turtle RT 72 Pause 500 Next i For i = 0 To 4 Turtle CURSORCOLOR cursor_colors(i) Turtle FD 40 Turtle RT 72 Pause 500 Next i end Edit: just found out that a TURTLE RESET before the END statement cures the situation .... there seems to be something going wrong when the program exits.

V6.01.00RC13 PicoMiteV6.01.00RC13.zip Fixes an initialisation issue in turtle graphics Fixes mp3 stack overflow in HDMI versions New functionality: FLASH LOAD IMAGE flashno, filename$ [,O/OVERWRITE] This command loads the bmp file specified into the flash slot in RGB121 format. The flash slot should have been previously erased or specifying the optional parameter O or OVERWRITE will force an erase. Note that the first two words in the flash slot are the width of the saved image and the height of the saved image. The image need not be the same dimensions as the framebuffer. BLIT FLASH from, to, xin, yin, xout, yout, width, height [,colour] Copies an area of a specific ‘from’ flash slot to a ‘to’ framebuffer N, F, or L. ‘xin’ and ‘yin’ define the top left of the area of ‘width’ and ‘height’ on the flash slot to be copied. ‘xout’ and ‘yout’ define the top left of the area on the target framebuffer to receive the copy. The optional parameter colour defines a pixel colour in the flash slot which will not be copied. If omitted all pixels are copied. The colour is specified as a number between 0 and 15 representing: Black, Blue, Myrtle, Cobalt, Midgreen, Cerulean, green, cyan, red, magenta, rust, fuschia, brown, lilac, yellow and white LOAD IMAGE/BMP fname$ [,x] [,y] [,mode] [,ximage] [,yimage] Loads a BMP file from fname$ and writes it to the current output device (display or framebuffer) starting at x, y (default to 0,0). The optional mode parameter specifies if the output is to be dithered. Bits 0 and 1 specify the output format and bit 2 specifies the type of dithering to use. By default mode is set to -1 which indicates no dithering should be applied. NB: LOAD DITHERED is removed as this command supersedes it. // Format identifiers - bits 0 and 1 #define FORMAT_RGB121 0 #define FORMAT_RGB222 1 #define FORMAT_RGB332 2 #define FORMAT_RGB565 3 // Method identifiers - bit 2 #define METHOD_FLOYD_STEINBERG 0 #define METHOD_ATKINSON 1 ximage and yimage specify where in the image file to start writing to the display (default to 0,0) NOTE: The version includes a complete re-write of BMP file processing. This affects: LOAD IMAGE, FLASH LOAD IMAGE, BLIT LOAD, and SPRITE LOADBMP. The new decoder supports for all commands: 1-bit (monochrome) - 2 colors with palette 4-bit - 16 colors with palette 8-bit - 256 colors with palette 16-bit - typically 5-5-5 RGB or 5-6-5 RGB 24-bit - 8-8-8 RGB (true color, most common) BI_RGB (0) - uncompressed (most common) BI_RLE8 (1) - 8-bit run-length encoding BI_RLE4 (2) - 4-bit run-length encoding Edited 2025-11-16 02:49 by matherp |

Peter, after flashing PicoMiteRP2350V6.01.00RC13.uf2 the LED stays on (does not blink), the virtual serial port is created but the pico does not start up and is unresponsive. Tried 2350 HDMIUSB and VGA, both start up. So must be some bug in the plain 2350 version. Tried to nuke the flash several times and tried to upgrade via RC11, RC12 to no avail. RC11 and RC12 do work though. HW is genuine RP2350 Pico 2 board. Edit: error message at startup is: "Error : Display not configured" Edited 2025-11-16 03:58 by ville56 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Hi Peter, I am testing ALL my available working programs with your new RC13 and found another problem (which is also present in RC12 and maybe more down the line, but works in PicoMiteV6.01.00RC0.zip !) ERROR with AES...   But in THIS version everything is fine: PicoMiteV6.01.00RC0.zip No problems here, so something is changend with the AES... Greetings Daniel Edited 2025-11-16 05:12 by Amnesie |

I've checked the code and there is no difference from 6.00.02 to 6.01.00RC13. Please provide a test program that you have verified works on 6.00.02. Also specify all options and exactly which version VGA/WEB 2040/2350 etc |

Hi Peter, here is the testprogram (only the encrypt / decrypt): AES_File08.zip And here is the proof that the files in the different versions are NOT identical (RC0 vs. RC13) also see the OPTION LIST below:   Greetings Daniel |

When I try to load PicoMiteRP2040V6.01.00RC13 or PicoMiteRP2350V6.01.00RC13 to their respective bare, boards using the USB serial interface to a PC, I get a constant connect/disconnect sound from the PC and nothing shows up in the terminal. |

Do you use a USB hub to connect to the picos? I've already had lots of fun with them flashing the firmware/ connecting the virtual comm. I only use direct USB connections. You may also try to nuke the picos first, did cure some strange behavior here, at least sometimes. And if you're on Windows, a reboot may help ....

There is something wrong with this build. Untouched areas of code are miss-behaving. I suggest avoiding RC13 unless you want to play with the new functionality. I knew I shouldn't have released a "13" version  Edited 2025-11-16 18:31 by matherp |

V6.01.00RC14 PicoMiteV6.01.00RC14.zip Solves issue in PicoMite RP2040. This was caused by changing the compilation optimisation level of a file so presumably some sort of compiler bug Solves a bug introduced some time ago when printing to file data that includes NULL characters (AES issue was actually this) |

Hi Peter, MATH.c appears to have the MATH PID in twice, I think second one should be commented out. tp = checkstring(cmdline, (unsigned char *)"PID"); F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

Hi Peter, I have an other one in connection with "lcdpanel user" Up to V6.01.00RC12 it was ok. To show the problem I made a litte testprogram that could run on every platform. Dim integer Work On error skip Option lcdpanel user,128,64 Execute "option list" 'Erase Work 'Clear Sub mm.user_rectangle(x1%,y1%,x2%,y2%,col%) Work = 1 End Sub If running ones there are no abnormalities, but starting it again without entering the editor ones more, it generates an error! Also Erase or Clear have no effects Regards, Albert Edited 2025-11-17 20:14 by AlbertR |
