PicoMiteVGA Manual
Add a description of “EDIT 1” in the “Full Screen Editor” section. Also highlight that “EDIT” in Mode 1 doesn’t do Syntax Highlighting.
Also add the setting of “EDIT 1” to a function key via the OPTION command.

Thanks.

Mode 1 has syntax highlighting.
In 50708 the editor always uses mode 1 (default)

Hello, i just got my PicoMiteVGA and it's so much fun.

on page 54 where it is telling me how i can use autorun n, it says it can be run from up to 8 slots. but it seems there are only 4?
not sure it that is a mistake or not

on page 63 right at the end of cpu restart there is a spelling mistake for memory i think.

There were 8 when that was written but as the PicoMite has evolved flash space has been used for other things, especially Drive A:.

Some options and commands listed are not in alphabetical order, e.g.

OPTION EXPLICIT is before OPTION ESCAPE
OPTION SYSTEM SPI is before OPTION SERIAL CONSOLE
GUI FRAME is before GUI FORMAT BOX

Perhaps there are more. I haven't looked in Functions.

Sometimes the alphabetical order is changed in order to get sensible numbers of items to a page, I think. It would be nice if everything fitted neatly but it doesn't and you can end up with a big gap at the bottom of a page just to keep things in order.

From the section:Implementing a TCP Client

Quote CONST Query = "GET /data/2.5/weather?q=Paris,fra&APPID="+Key+Chr$(10)+Chr$(13)

Should be:
CONST Query = "GET /data/2.5/weather?q=Paris,fra&APPID="+Key+Chr$(13)+Chr$(10)

or the server gets upset.

Cheers,

Chris.

I have been running Openweathermap on several WEBmites for months with ...Key+Chr$(10)+Chr$(13). Updating once per 10 minutes. The longest periods without an automatic restart of the WEBmite about 50 hours. Mostly restart in less than 10 hours. I thought that the random restarts were due to disturbances in the internet service.

I have just changed the order of ...Key+Chr$(10)+Chr$(13) to ...Key+Chr$(13)+Chr$(10) in one of the units to see if there is any difference. WebMite MMBasic Version 5.07.08RC11; didn't want to introduce an other change to the system by updating to latest version.

Interesting to see if any difference compared to the other unit that are unchanged.

On page 41 ...

"... external resistors (as shown in the diagram) are not needed."

Where is the diagram?

The same on page 36 in the VGA version.

Could the section on "Naming Conventions" in "MMBasic Characteristics" include a blurb about file names?

Length, allowable characters, case, file type, etc.

SETPIN options for CIN are missing all options and no mention of pull up/down

Suggested description (thanks to Gerry)

Quote ‘option’ can be used to specify which edge triggers the count
and if any pullup or pulldown is enabled
1 specifies a rising edge with pulldown,
2 specifies a falling edge with pullup,
3 specifies that both a falling and rising edge will trigger a
count with no pullup or pulldown applied,
4 specifies both edges but with a pulldown and
5 specifies both edges but with a pullup applied.
If ‘option’ is omitted a rising edge will trigger the count and a
pulldown is enabled.

Here is a first draft of the PicoMite manual for V5.08.00

This hasn't been through Geoff's tender ministrations yet to sort out the index and generally tidy it up but I hope I've got most of your comments included and all the new functionality covered. If you have time, please review and post any comments here - thanks

The Webmite and PicoMiteVGA manuals are up to the same level but this is a superset of most of what they include

Quote I've added the following:

complex1% = MATH(C_POLAR radius!, angle!) 'NB: respects OPTION ANGLE
mod! = MATH(C_MOD complex%)
phase! = MATH(C_PHASE complex%) 'NB: respects OPTION ANGLE

Didn't make it to the draft manual.

Edit - nor these

Quote Supported functions are:

complex% = MATH(C_CPLX r!, i!) 'create a complex

real! = MATH(C_REAL complex%)
imag! = MATH(C_IMAG complex%)
arg! = MATH(C_ARG complex%)

complex1% = MATH(C_ADD complex2%,complex3%)
complex1% = MATH(C_SUB complex2%,complex3%)
complex1% = MATH(C_MUL complex2%,complex3%)
complex1% = MATH(C_DIV complex2%,complex3%)
complex1% = MATH(C_POW complex2%,complex3%)

complex1% = MATH(C_CONJ complex2%)
complex1% = MATH(C_SIN complex2%)
complex1% = MATH(C_COS complex2%)
complex1% = MATH(C_TAN complex2%)

Page 125 talks about "VS1053 specific PLAY commands". I think it would be nice to mention this first needs setting up with OPTION AUDIO VS1053 on page 80.

Also Obsolete Commands and Functions on page 156 should include the "Bitbang" command.
