okokok... but it is no error Subservient, I solemnly pledge to use the Select Function next time, just to avoid such discussions.  Edited 2022-11-02 19:07 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Hi Martin, You could however use Polygon, but looking at how you have constructed the blocking wall, and side gaps this would not be a straight swap in, but they are faster than using 2 Triangles, if that were a requirement. :-) Regards, Kevin. Edited 2022-11-02 21:41 by Bleep |

Hi Kevin, with the Polygon funtion there will be some changes needed But I tested it (for now) just for the left and right walls... here the changed sub, (@Jim also without the nested IF Statement): Sub Draw_Element nr%,mir%,Gap% Local x1%,y1%,x2%,y2%,x3%,y3%,x4%,y4%,xarr%(5),yarr%(5) x1%=Wall%(nr%,0,0):y1%=Wall%(nr%,0,1) x2%=Wall%(nr%,1,0):y2%=Wall%(nr%,1,1) x3%=Wall%(nr%,2,0):y3%=Wall%(nr%,2,1) x4%=Wall%(nr%,3,0):y4%=Wall%(nr%,3,1) If mir% Then x1%=240-x1%:x2%=240-x2%:x3%=240-x3%:x4%=240-x4% WallC1%=RGB(0,64,0):WallC2%=RGB(0,128,0) Select Case Gap% Case 0 'Wall xarr%(0)=x1%:xarr%(1)=x3%:xarr%(2)=x4%:xarr%(3)=x2%:xarr%(4)=x1% yarr%(0)=y1%:yarr%(1)=y3%:yarr%(2)=y4%:yarr%(3)=y2%:yarr%(4)=y1% Polygon 4,xarr%(),yarr%(),WallC1%,WallC1% Case 1 'Gap Triangle x1%,y3%,x3%,y3%,x4%,y4%,WallC2%,WallC2% Triangle x1%,y4%,x1%,y3%,x4%,y4%,WallC2%,WallC2% Case Else 'Blocker Triangle x1%,y1%,240-x1%,y1%,240-x1%,y2%,WallC2%,WallC2% Triangle x1%,y1%,240-x1%,y2%,x1%,y2%,WallC2%,WallC2% End Select End Sub Of course, there are many different ways to draw walls.I am not sure if, in this case, the Filling of 2 Arrays and the call of the Polygon Routine would take more Time than just draw 2 Triangles. not sure why I should make those changes, since it runs fast enough as it is. As my Granddad told dont fix it if it isn't broken Edited 2022-11-02 23:37 by Martin H. 'no comment |

A great advert for vga mmbasic. I was surprised how fast lcd graphics using fill worked. Triangles great for dial pointer. Picomite is nice but vga setup would be better graphics. Got to wire it, yawn. |

connecting to VGA is not a big deal If you look at the circuit in Mixtel90s PicoGame Mini 00 Construction Pack youll get it done with just 4 Resistors  ©Mixtel90 it works Edited 2022-11-03 02:42 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Looks simple for 16 colours, why not in "The manual"? I will try that. I have 8 channel 3.3V to 5V bi direction boards for the key board. I got 4 ps2 kb , 2 I cut the plugs off. Would they run at 3.3V logic? Power from 3.3V and see.. can not damage picomite that way or use logic level converter, which has 8 channels, so useful for other devices. I will try tonight to get vga running. SPI Lcd is impressive but I must try vga. Will I still be able to use mmedit or will it be vga terminal? I will see... I hope.  |

If you are lucky a PS/2 keyboard can be connected directly - but you have to be able to power it from 3V3. Keyboards that need 5V *have* to have a level shifter of some sort as they may contain pullups to 5V which will damage the Pico. Unfortunately you can't tell reliably which keyboards will work without trying them. A level shifter can be two cheap mosfets and 4 resistors.

I have a few of these bi-directional logic level converters. Nice for ili lcd with 5V logic like pic/arduino 328p. vga picomite is more desk space is my problem, monitot, keyboard.  |

PicoGAME? 105mm x 110mm A bit smaller... PicoGAME VGA mini? 70mm x 90mm but hasn't got Port B. Both can take 5V keyboards. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Sounds like some wire is crossed somewhere, what NES controller have you got ? Perhaps it's one with a micro-controller inside (requiring 5V) instead of one based on a simple shift-register ? You might also try increasing ctrl.PULSE! Also are you using an "official" PicoGAME VGA board or a homebrew ? Try this test program: ctrl-test-pmvga.zip Best wishes, Tom MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Thank you Tom, I Use Mixtel90s PicoGame VGA Board V2.0 and the aliexpress "NES" Controller looks like yours  I used your Test Program , Atari Joystick works an A and B exept the Fire Button (allways triggerd) The NES Controller just get some short results if I press A&B together. with No controller connected I got with F2: Atari Port A 2048 = A F3 Atari Port B 2176 I will probably have to check the solder joints and the resistor values ??again Edited 2022-11-10 03:36 by Martin H.

Hi Martin, That definitely looks like you have at least one short. I'm pretty confident about the code and it is rock solid on my 1.4 PCB. That controller is cosmetically the same as the ones with the dodgy d-pads  that often read up and right at the same time, but I don't think that would explain the symptoms.I suppose it is possible that you are the only user to have actually tried a 2.0 PCB and that a gremlin got into that version - I certainly haven't populated one yet, but will do so tomorrow - Mick how about you ?

The Atari fire button inputs are on GP14 (Port A) and GP15 (Port B). Both have a 150R pull-up resistor to 3V3 and a 100nF capacitor to Gnd. The pull-up is such a low value because pin 6 of the ports is also used as the supply to the NES controllers. These inputs are pulled low by the fire button and should never read as always triggered. I've just had a look at the circuit and SL6 files for version 2.0 and I can't see a problem. Values read for the NES controllers look very odd to me: 2048 is 10000000000 (11 bits) 2176 is 10010110000 As these are clocked serial inputs the PCB will either read them or not - you shouldn't get incorrect values, especially without a controller plugged in as the control and data lines have pull-up resistors.

Hi Mick, Those are not the raw NES serial values, the "ctrl" library maps the outputs of all controllers onto the wider range of outputs returned by "Wii Classic Controller" as that is the one standard that the MMBasic manuals document. 2048 = Button A 2176 = Button A + Up Mick, have you built a PCB 2.0 ?

And the 'ctrl' library uses neither, it uses the bitmap documented in the MMBasic manual for the Wii Classic Controller. Best wishes, Tom MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |
