@Peter,

The problem lies deeper....
On Picomite 2040 VGA PS2 6.0 RC16 (the last)

SETPIN GP1,DIN,PULLUP
PRINT PIN(GP1)

Reads a 0, even if I wait 1 second for voltages to stablize, I read 0.

EDIT: even with an external pullup, the pin reads 0
tested on gp0,gp1,gp2

Volhout

P.S.
OPTION RESET VGA DESIGN 2
OPTION CPUSPEED 252000

if you run this program you will see the difference

CLS(RGB(WHITE))
FOR I = 1 IN 200
PRINT @ (I,I),"A"
NEXT I

PAUSE 2000

CLS(RGB(WHITE))
FOR I = 1 IN 200
TEXT I,I,"A"
NEXT I

Out of curiosity, does the PRINT@ command need to exist if I can use TEXT?

That isn't valid MMbasic

Try this and then tell me what you think is wrong

MODE 2
print @(100,100)"Hello"
text 100,100,"Hello",,,,rgb(red)

Harm

Sorry - stupid typo - still trying to overcome the Rp2350 latch-up. Will fix

What Text can't do that Print@ can is control the position of text on a VT100 terminal.

Note also that print puts a CRLF after the output unless you terminate with a semi-colon

@Peter,

Unless there is new info, the GPIO problem is a hardware problem that does not have a SW fix or workaround. Why not ignore it from a SW point of view, and leave the solution to HW design ? (always usea 10k pullup or pulldown externaly to the GPIO pin).

for example
when I give the command PRINT@(1,1),"a" it seems to print a space character first.
to print at the top left I have to write PRINT@(-8,1)
in fact it deletes an 8x8 rectangle (maybe it depends on the font, I haven't tried with other fonts) before the first character

try the program

CLS (rgb(white))
PRINT@(1,1),"A"

Quote PRINT@(1,1),"a"

PRINT@(1,1)"a"

I have another problem,
Font 3 of VGA version 6.0RC15 is larger than version 5.08.
Is this something intentional?

It would help if you said what version you are running and what options

autorun on

version 5.08 VGA
options
colourcode on
keyboard us

I tried with various fonts but only font 3 is very different.

just run this program on the two different versions and see the difference

FOR i= 1 to 10
fonts 1
print i;
fonts 2
print i;
fonts 3
print i;
fonts 4
print i
next

Is it possible to make an OPTION to configure the PS/2 keyboard connection pins?
I looked in the PicoMite documentation and did not find anything like that...
My development board has a non-standard PS/2 keyboard connection:

PS/2 CLCK -- GP0 or GP2
PS/2 DATA -- GP1 or GP3

No sorry. They have to be connected to an interrupt and it is too complex to make this flexible

Then please, please publish the code on GitHub more regularly!
And by the way, by editing a couple of constants in the code, I successfully rebuilt the PS/2 keyboard to other pins...

OK I'll have another look and see if I can make it flexible.

V6.00.00RC17

PicoMiteRP2040V6.00.00RC17.zip

PicoMiteRP2350V6.00.00RC17.zip

Fixes bug in SETPIN pin,DIN
Count for SETPIN pin,CIN increased to 64-bit
Font 3 for VGA displays is returned to same as V5.08 (ie 16x16)
Font 3 for LCD panels is same as V5.08 (ie 16x24)
Font 3 for HDMI displays is 16x24 and is the default font for 1280x720 and 1024x768 resolutions
A subroutine named MM.END will be run whenever an explicit or implicit END statement is encountered.
If there is no subroutine called MM.END then the program will terminate normally.
Like MM.STARTUP, you could then save a MMBasic subroutine named MM.END in the library and that would be run whenever any program exits.
If a program is exited using Ctrl-C then the function is not executed.
If you don't want MM.END to be executed for any reason use "END noend" to exit the program.

New command (untested)

OPTION PS2 PINS clockpin, datapin
Defaults to GP8,GP9 as before

NB: Release will delete all options
