I'll have to try that. The YD should be ok. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

strange behavior after executing OPTION EXPLICIT > list system i2c HEX 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 00: [LIBRARY] addr = y * 16 + x Error : ADDR is not declared > list system i2c [LIBRARY] Dim integer x,y Error : x already declared > list system i2c [LIBRARY] Dim integer x,y Error : x already declared-- Situation can be cleared with NEW. If OPTION EXPLICIT is entered on the commandline it is ok, but if in a program the error will show up after first RUN. Version is 6.00.02b11 on RP2350A. Regards, Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

This is correct. Library code must follow the normal rules for variables. If you set OPTION EXPLICIT then any variable used in the library must be explicitly defined. If you have executable code in the library that is not in a subroutine it will be executed whenever a Basic command is executed. |

Peter, could you please also DIM variable "addr" in the library for "list system i2c" command as this seems to be the cause of the trouble. 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Maybe addr should be a local. John |

V6.00.02b14 posted https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Fixes bug in LIST SYSTEM I2C using an undeclared variable Fixes a bug in ADC conversions when CPU speed is > than about 250MHz Fixes a bug in MM.END not being called properly As soon as I get some feedback on any unsupported gamepads I will be moving to release candidate status for V6.00.02. |

I am very happy and can confirm, that the ADC bug is gone on RP2040/378Mhz and PGA2350/352Mhz! Another very nice new world is: > timer=0:blit 0,0,400,0,399,479:?timer 97.577 That is about 5Mb/s ?! Fantastic Is it possible to make the framebuffer color depth configurable like 8bit? Thank you! Edited 2025-02-28 01:04 by dddns |

Can confirm that fix! Thanks.  MM.END now works in the library but also when stored in the main program. Regards Michael causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

V6.00.02b14 VGA version seems to be running ok on a YD-RP2040 at 252MHz. IIRC it has done previously because of some tweaks to memory timing, but it's nice to know it still works. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

"list system i2c" works, many thanks Peter !! Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Hi Peter, Thanks for the larger heap in the 2040 VGA build (b14). From here we can build further on Kong. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

PicoMiteRP2040USBV6.00.02b14: While writing a blit close to the boundaries with parts of the blit being out of bounds, this out of bounds drawing seems to take memory during the process. I'm not sure but this behavior might be unwanted instead of discarding the data. |

V6.00.02b15 posted https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip New functionality from Geoff - with thanks Now supporting BYVAL & BYREF. BYVAL & BYREF are prefixes that can be applied to parameters in the definition of a sub or function. BYVAL will force the interpreter to use the value of the supplied argument even if a variable is supplied. BYREF informs the interpreter that a variable is expected and if that is not supplied it will throw an error. Additional parameter for OPTION LCDPANEL paralleldisplaytype (e.g. SSD1963_7[_16]) OPTION LCDPANEL display, orientation [,backlightpin] [,DCpin] [,NORESET] [,DB0pin] The new parameter only applies to the RP2350B and allows the starting pin for the 8 or 16 data pins to be specified (defaults to GP0) e.g. OPTION LCDPANEL SSD1963_4_16, LANDSCAPE,,,GP36,,GP2 This allows SSD and other parallel displays to be used on the new 64-pin DIL development board Support for three new gamepads including the THEGAMEPAD |

@Geoff, @Peter: Brilliant !!!

This already pulls at a major version, like Ver 6.01  |

Hi Peter, The essential code is the TEXT command that (in PETSCII) shows the game loop time usage. However in this framebuffer setup (same as petscii), the text statement prints the timer value (1), but not the leading zero's. Any idea ? Is the ink color not used for "00" but it is for the "STR$()". I am trying to write text to layer L. This is 2040 VGA b14. 'screen mode 2 FRAMEBUFFER Layer 9 FRAMEBUFFER write n Color 0,RGB(white) : CLS FRAMEBUFFER write l CLS RGB(magenta) timer=1 Text 10,200,right$("00"+Str$(timer,3,0),3) do:loop while inkey$="" end Volhout Edited 2025-03-02 21:16 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

What a convoluted way of doing something that is fully supported TEXT 10,200,str$(timer,3,0,"0") |

Forgot to explicitly say many thanks in my former post.. @Geoff: Don't you think, this wonderful new feature would be worth included into the Windows version? As this is really a great improvement of the language regarding readability and bug avoiding.. I took a short look into the sources at https://github.com/UKTailwind/PicoMiteAllVersions and saw it's probably mainly done in MMBasic.c/h which I suppose are the "core" files.. @thwill: Same with MMB4L.. Thx again, bfwolf |

phrasing in manual got me confused too. > timer=1:print right$("00" + Str$(timer,0,0),3) 001 > timer=10:print right$("00" + Str$(timer,0,0),3) 010 > timer=999:print right$("00" + Str$(timer,0,0),3) 999 > timer=1000:print right$("00" + Str$(timer,0,0),3) 000 > |

I'm also "a little bit confused".. From the latest manual:  > list Option explicit Dim i As integer, t As float Timer = 0 t = Timer Print Timer, t, Format$(t, "%08.3f") For i=0 To 1000000 Next i t = Timer Print Timer, t, Format$(t, "%08.3f") End > run 0.049 0.022 0000.022 6577.698 6577.677 6577.677 > @Geoff, @Peter: Could it be, that "Timer" gives milliseconds with microseconds (3 digits after the dot) resolution? > option list PicoMite MMBasic RP2350A Edition V6.00.02b15 OPTION FLASH SIZE 4194304 OPTION COLOURCODE ON OPTION CPUSPEED 150000 'KHz > |
