 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. |

Why does the OPTION LIST show "OPTION DISPLAY 50,100" but there is no OPTION DISPLAY, seems inconsistent? NANO Inverter: Full download - Only Hex Ver 8.1Ks |

Sorry to be a pain but the construction pack schematic does not show the 10K pullup resistors on the Nunchuk lines to the connector. EDIT: I remember that Nick found that when testing Nunchuks for one of his games that he found that some will communicate at 400Khz. Has that been considered?

The construction pack and the other manuals have not been updated for a while. I have "final" versions almost ready and will post them within the week and make an announcement here. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Is there a limit to file size loaded into this editor. No previous program loaded. I'm getting: Error: Not enough heap memory >Memory Flash: 207K (40%) Program (7035) 309K (60%) Free RAM: 0k ( 0%) 0 Variables 4627K (89%) General 557K (11%) Free This is a BAS file from the H7 and is not to run on a CMM2, I was simply interested in seeing how the editor responded to a large file. As it's simply editing from the SD I can't see (I'm getting old though) that this would be a problem. File is nearly 9000 lines and 274K. I'm asking here first because there may be some kind of pre-processing going on and it's spitting the dummy at GUI elements and pin numbers etc, although the Editor does not have a problem with smaller files that have Pin and GUI elements NA to the CMM2.

Because of the way the editor and MMBasic's memory management work, each line of the file takes 512 bytes so your file is consuming all of the available RAM. This allows things like sideways scrolling and large cut and paste buffers The CMM2 supports you splitting the program into modules as a main program and one or more "include" files. These are then assembled when you type "RUN". This approach is obviously not available on the various Micromites but hopefully encourages better programming practice and overcomes the issue you are seeing. |

Great, understand, however when you use an editor with full Function / Procedure folding then there is no need to split up a program of this size from a better programming point of view, however the feature of Include files is an absolute plus in this environment, that's another thing I wish we had on the ArmH7.

My CMM-2 arrived this arvo from CG just on a month from ordering & posting. Just used the cheaper freight. Thanks CG. Looks good. Haven't tried it out yet. Bit to catch up on. A fair bit has changed software wise etc since its introduction. Bit to catch up on. Lots of posts to read through again. Update. Few quick tests. Works OK using the Editor (After I changed the switch on the daughter board to bring up the power) I hardly ever used the inbuilt editor on my CMM-1 Yet to update the firmware.

The first formal release of the CMM2 software V5.05.02 is now available from http://geoffg.net/Downloads/Maximite/Colour_Maximite_2_MMBasic.zip This is the release that SC will have available for download on their site when the magazine articles launch which is why the release had now to be locked. Changes from RC44 Includes a protection to try and avoid the editor incorrectly reporting "Nothing to edit" Re-engineered INPUT$ from files to better fix a bug that was reported earlier Removed a spurious esc character sent by the editor Fixed editor bug where if ESCAPE is only pressed once or twice, then any other keys are pressed, the warning message still remains at the bottom of the terminal screen LS, LIST FILES and DIR$ now all understand a path name as part of the pattern string e.g. ? dir$(“subdir/*.bas”) ‘get the first .bas file in the subdirectory subdir of the current working directory ? dir$(“/subdir/*.bas”) ‘get the first .bas file in the directory A:/subdir Ls “subdir/*” ’ list all the files in subdirectory subdir of the current working directory LS “/subdir/*” ‘ list all the files in the directory a:/subdir For both LS and DIR$ the code works as follows You type “/subdir” the firmware looks for a file or directory subdir in the root directory You type “/subdir/” the firmware interprets “/subdir/*” You type “/subdir/something” the firmware looks for a file or directory with the name “something” in subdir You type “/subdir/something/” the firmware interprets “/subdir/something/*” Please continue to report any issues on the Bug thread. These will be dealt with in beta releases for 5.05.03 and the address for downloads of the betas will be advised in due course. Edited 2020-06-05 23:29 by matherp |

Great. For these and other commands that take paths is the inclusion of a drive specification A:/ B:/ C:/ ... relevant .. or is it ignored? What is the drive letter for the SD card? does the flash have a drive letter? do my questions even make sense?

Formally the drive letter for the SDcard is "A:" This is not always checked but should be used. Alternatively a file specification can begin with just / or \ indicating a pathname starting at the root directory There are no other devices that can be addressed as files. |

Good to know the canonical answer. FYI if I recall correctly I tried CHDIR with B:/foo and C:/foo as well and they seemed to work. Regards, Tom Edited 2020-06-06 00:27 by thwill MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

And similarly the documentation files have been updated to fix errors and include the final functionality: Colour Maximite 2 User Manual: http://geoffg.net/Downloads/Maximite/Colour_Maximite_2_User_Manual.pdf Tutorial: Programming with the Colour Maximite 2: http://geoffg.net/Downloads/Maximite/Programming_with_the_Colour_Maximite_2.pdf Construction pack includes parts list, PCB design files, firmware, etc: http://geoffg.net/Downloads/Maximite/CMM2_Construction_Pack.zip Geoff Edited 2020-06-06 01:34 by Geoffg Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

I've just updated the firmware to 5.05.05. All appears OK apart from the CMM2 not recognising the USB keyboard. Tried 2 different ones. Any suggestions please? Brian ChopperP |

Thanks Peter. Also fixed another keyboard problem I had. NOTE to self:- RTFM or Notes etc Edited 2020-06-06 07:58 by Chopperp ChopperP |

I think the following (at the top of the readme.txt): OPTION RESET OPTION USBKEYBOARD UK or OPTION USBKEYBOARD USBKEYBOARD Is meant to say: OPTION RESET OPTION USBKEYBOARD UK or OPTION USBKEYBOARD US Presumably some kind of autocompletion typo sneaked in? |

Hi Gregzone Can you post this to the CMM2 Manual Errata thread please Brian ChopperP |

Done. Thanks for pointing this out Brian. |
