 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. |

MMEdit V5.3.6 Further refinements with AUTOSAVE N Stopped the duplicate control characters being sent in Linux version. Changed serial handshake on close. This vastly improves pico reliability when sending large volumes of data through the USB. VK7JH MMedit |

And here we go again! The latest version has been completely blocked by Microsoft and I cannot even get an option to override; the download is simply deleted before I can even find the download. What a pain! |

Same problem for me. Previous MMedit version downloaded a few days ago without problems. No idea how to solve the problem. W11 in use. Pluto |

Same problem here. Firefox was the only successful download but when I tried to unzip, the file went to zero bytes. |

OK so I temporarily switched-off protection and it downloaded and installed. |

I also tried the download, once before the update and once with the latest version, and in both cases there were no problems, with all security mechanisms activated. Only 7z instead of Windows ZIP.

Sorry Stan, I don't understand the question. I think you are trying to load a program using the "Load" button. Did the program fail to load? If it failed, I need more information but if it did load successfully, just think it magic. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

A small update for the Linux users to test. MMCC now scans for available serial ports every 2 seconds and if there has been a change, pops up a short notice informing of the change. The pull-down list of ports now only includes ports that were found. Once the new version has been run, Users have to edit the MMCC.inf file to add any fixed serial ports they wish to include in the list of ports. Line 65: Linux fixed ports = change to Linux fixed ports = ttyS0 ttyS5 etc This is still not as user friendly as the Windows version but definitely an improvement. Extract the MMCC file from the attached ZIP and replace the file in the MMEdit folder. MMCC.zip Linux has a habit of changing the serial port designation whenever there has been reset of the pico and you are using the USB console. If there aren't any problems identified, I will include it in the next update. Jim Edited 2025-11-04 06:11 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit |
