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.

  matherp said  V6.00.00RC17
New command (untested)
OPTION PS2 PINS clockpin, datapin
Defaults to GP8,GP9 as before

I checked it on RP2040 and RP2350 and it seems, to my great regret, that this option does not work yet.

Testing on standard picomite RP2040

RUN
[1] SetPin GP1,FFIN ' set GP1 for fast frequency input
Error : Syntax
> OPTION LIST
PicoMite MMBasic Version 6.00.00RC17

Is fast frequency measurement only for RP2350?

Try with VGARP2350 - works for me as far as setting the option
If using standard PicoMite did you set up OPTION KEYBOARD? It is only automatic on VGA/HDMI

Yes - may work on RP2040 but haven't enabled/tested

Peter,

Did some small tests with PicoMite MMBasic RP2040 Edition V6.00.00RC17 and PicoMiteVGA MMBasic Version 6.00.00RC17.
First flashed PicoMite MMBasic RP2040 Edition V6.00.00RC17 and it turned out to be standard:
> option list
PicoMite MMBasic Version 6.00.00RC17
OPTION PS2 PINS NULL,NULL

Line OPTION PS2 PINS NULL, NULL is included as standard even though no PS2 keyboard is present.
The pin numbers 1 - 40 or GP0 ​​- GP39 are accepted, but removing this OPTION line does not work and resetting it to NULL, NULL does not work either. Only with the OPTION RESET.

At PicoMiteVGA MMBasic Version 6.00.00RC17
> OPTION LIST
PicoMiteVGA MMBasic Version 6.00.00RC17
OPTION KEYBOARD US

One can try pin numbers 1 - 40 or GP0 ​​- GP39 with OPTION PS2 PINS clockpin, datapin.
Disabling OPTION PS2 PINS is no longer possible or OPTION RESET deletes everything.

Jan.

I tried it on different firmware versions RC17 and it doesn't work. At the same time, after assigning other pins for PS/2, pin 12 / GP9 remains in use, while pin 11 / GP8 is released.
When using OPTIONS KEYBOARD US before assigning PS/2 pins, PicoMite MMBasic Version 6.00.00RС17 completely fails.
Well, when viewing the Options list, there is no indication of the chip version, as is in the welcome line.

Please try the attached RP2350 PicoMiteVGA


PicoMite.zip


I knew it wasn't as easy to make it flexible as just changing the #defines to build a variant

>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh9hhh9hhhh-hh

No, it didn't work, but there is an interesting effect.
Now Pins GP8, GP9 are not occupied, and when I assigned OPTION AUDIO GP8, GP9 to them, when pressing the keys of the PS/2 keyboard, portions of characters >hhh9;... are poured into the terminal.

OK! With this latest update using the OPTIONS settings I was able to fully configure PicoMiteHDMI for my new MURMULATOR2 HW ver.2.0 board
Thank you very much for your work and attention!

Hi javavi,

Quite interesting that you, living in Ukraine, being bombed by Russia, are buying Russian murmulators. I expected people from Ukraine would avoid using Russian tech.
Maybe the war is not as severe as European media show. Maybe we (Europeans) are very much manipulated in thinking there would be hatred and grudge.

Regards,

Volhout

It seems that something happened to the command COLOUR MAP with the latest versions > RC12
I used it in MODE 1 640х480х2 in "FM" to set the TILES palette and it worked.
MODE 1
.....
Din integer c(15)=(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)
Colour Map c(),c()

now it gives an error
Colour Map c(),c()
Error : Input range error on element 0

On both versions of PicoMite VGA/HDMI RC17 firmware

Hi Volhout,
The war is real, you Europeans haven't even dreamed of anything like this since 1945, they just drove the orcs away from me a little and Russian planes don't fly over us anymore, but they bomb and attack the front lines, and they also launch drones and missiles at us almost every day.
I know the author of the MURMULATOR and he's a nice guy despite being Russian. Well, in general, not all Russians are hardcore rashists, but imperialism and nostalgia for the USSR can be felt in everyone.
If for us the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a celebration of gaining independence, then for russia it is perceived as the greatest catastrophe of the country of the Soviets. This is where the roots of revanchism and rushism grow, and the top elite played on this and apparently got carried away, that they believed in themselves. This is the work of propaganda from the subordinate media.
I didn't buy the Murmulator board, but I ordered parts from JLCPCB & AliExpress, and this is available here.

Regards, javavi
