 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. |

This is scenario I expected. Users will customise to their needs  I believe 98% users interested in such systems (Picomite,CMM2 etc) has good text editing backgrounds by default  Edited 2025-04-21 06:29 by electricat My MMBasic 'sand box' |

But this is what makes it interesting to play together. Nowdays I rarely fire up my soldering station. Pater (and Geoff) gave us such an interesting 'game' into our hands - it`s hard to resist My MMBasic 'sand box' |

I just loaded the updated RC16 and now when I list a program I get an unentered header: '#A:/solutions/01.speedo The program name is "01.speedo" and it's in the solutions directory on drive A:. It doesn't show up when I edit the program, just when I list it. Where is it coming from? Edited 2025-04-21 16:28 by toml_12953 |

There is trade off. Not that big ~390-430 Kb file to start with, but only commands and functions left. Switch on main PC for full manual , or open printed version if you like list paper to dust  or use electricat`s experimental help system for reading offline which is happy to eat space drive B: Or.... add information you need.Personaly I need separators for faster look through multiple topics. So added files with and without them. if entered >HELP *** all topics will be listed . If you do not like it, it is so easy remove them with notepad++ When creating my experimental help system I tried to group by theme, so added keywoards. This way newbie user could accidently quess for something what he is looking for.. this way if he enters >HELP *DRAW* he will get commands as much close to drawing on screen as I was able to think off. I also leaved as is some of my BETA notes. If user would enter > HELP *BETA* all topics related to BETA changes will be listed. As some changes are not only commands, but changes in system behavour, for example. If you like keywoards idea - get file 'full_Commands_and_Functions_with_Electricat_keywoards' with or without separators At some point I added Apendixes inside of document as I do not like jumping back and forth when reeading. Did not cut out these. If one wants get rid of them or tune it by personal taste - search through for "Appendix" full_Commands_and_Functions-full-_no_separators_help.zip full_Commands_and_Functions-full-help.zip full_Commands_and_Functions_with_Electricat_keywoards_no_separators_help.zip full_Commands_and_Functions_with_Electricat_keywoards_help.zip My MMBasic 'sand box' |

Should you really be duplicating the parameters in the search string when they're listed in the descroption? Example: ~OPTION AUTORUN OFF* ------------------------------------ OPTION AUTORUN OFF Disables autorun. ~OPTION AUTORUN ON [,NORESET] or OPTION AUTORUN n [,NORESET] or OPTION AUTORUN OFF* Could that be shortened to: ~OPTION AUTORUN * OPTION AUTORUN {ON[,NORESET] | OFF | n[,NORESET]} Enables or disables autorun or runs a program on powerup or restart.

Please could you start a new thread for discussing Help files and how best to use the new (fixed) functionality |

Hi Peter, I have an idea that might be useful for the next version. Maybe you could think about it sometime when you have time. I imagine there could be a USERSTRING option. This is a string that the user can use for any purpose, e.g., configuration data , at their own discretion (e.g. using csv), and like other system OPTIONS, it will be retained after shutdown until it is deleted, overwritten, or until new firmware is installed. Kind regards MIchael causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

Thanks! I thought it was tied to the hardware somehow. I'll look into it. I'm not sure 31 bytes will be enough in every case. But we'll see... Edited 2025-04-21 23:44 by twofingers causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

Hi Peter, Definately the best so far, both monitors, occasionally flash, on average about every 15 to 20 seconds. |

V6.00.02RC17 is available on https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Fixes bug in i2s audio on RP2350 VGA versions Fixes bug in command stacking for Help commands Removes spurious header line in LIST command Improves stability of HDMI 1024x768 and 1280x720 while playing MP3 over I2S Reduces the memory footprint of MP3 playback on the RP2350 Enables OPTION RESOLUTION 640,378000 for HDMI versions - NB: not all monitors will work with this as the frequency isn't perfect Disables completely single precision H/W floating point on the RP2350. MMBasic doesn't use this. The only major use is MP3 playback and this works better using the in-built ROM routines |

Is there any way to edit the LIBRARY file? I want to make a small change and don't want to type it all in again. I looked through the manual but I didn't see anything about it. |

Better again, haven't seen a flash at all, when not playing an MP3 and up to a minute whithout a flash when playing an MP3, strangely they seem to come in batches, nothing for a minute, then it'll do it 3 times in 10 seconds, then a long break again? both monitors are doing roughly the same. Interestingly, one monitor works perfectly at 640,378000, the other not at all really, the occasional lock, usually after a reset, but as you say, may not work at all. |

Yeah, I know about those but if I make a change to one SUB whose name is already in the library, I can't save that SUB. I get an already defined error. Right now, I'm keeping the entire library in a .BAS source file and when I make a change to it, I do a LIBRARY DELETE and LIBRARY SAVE the updated routine. I was hoping to be able to eliminate the .BAS file. |
