Peter,  glad You found it! I had pleasure to find you implemented I2S sound! It seems as welcome option if discrete PWM is not an option. Local sellers asks crazy ~40 EUR for VS1053. Not so cheap  So I2S was good news for me  Found spare UDA1334A DAC in box. Tomorrow hope to see if it works. It should. But it is temporar option. I was looking for cheap and "enough" DAC acessible in EU Found MAX98357A and it seems to me as interesting option. Small power amplifier is integrated (3.2W Output Power into 4Ω at 5V) No MCLK Required, supports Left, Right, or (Left/2 + Right/2) Output From datasheet: General Description The MAX98357A/MAX98357B is an easy-to-use, low-cost, digital pulse-code modulation (PCM) input Class D amplifier that provides industry-leading Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency. The digital audio interface automatically recognizes up to 35 different PCM and TDM clocking schemes which eliminates the need for I2C pro gramming. Operation is further simplified by eliminating the need for an external MCLK signal that is typically used for PCM communication. Simply supply power, LRCLK, BCLK, and digital audio to generate audio! Maybe our small comunity knows better options or find this chip interesting? My MMBasic 'sand box' |

Not according to the screenshot. In any case GP12 is used for HDMI. Edited 2025-01-25 19:09 by matherp |

Right. I tray eliminate such overlooks, but failing. I must be more accurate in future My MMBasic 'sand box' |

Peter, Can you confirm if v6.00.02b3 can be loaded on ‘any’ state of Pico i.e. a new ‘blank’ Pico, as well as one that may have had any previous version (v5) loaded. IF a Pico with a previous version, would it need to be cleared first in any way (nuked)? Thanks….. Edited 2025-01-25 19:48 by WhiteWizzard |

Peter, Loaded a new genuine Pico 2 (with Adafruit DVI sock) with HDMI b3 firmware. With a specific monitor I only get an image with OPTION RESOLUTION 1024 (this is not the problem I’m reporting here!). At the command prompt I type MODE 1 (or 2 or 3) and see it behave as expected. And when i enter the editor I consistently see 32 lines of text (colour-coded) no matter which mode I set at the command prompt. BUT if i set OPTION DEFAULT MODE 2 (for example), then the editor text-font is tiny. Doing OPTION LIST now shows OPTION DEFAULT FONT 7,1 (set automatically I presume!) and this would explain the tiny font in the editor. But I can’t seem to change it to make it readable. For now, all I am trying to do is set default resolution to 1024 (as that’s all my particular monitor will display) AND set mode 3 so I have a handful of colours to use rather than just 2 in mode 1, AND be able to have a decent size font in the editor. What am I missing - there must be something silly I am doing?? |

Furthermore, If at the command prompt I type FONT 5 (for example), then I see the larger font at the command prompt (as expected). However, if I then type EDIT, I get an error ‘FONT TOO LARGE’ (this is fair enough as it looks like it was trying to use that for EDITOR. Typing edit a second time lets me in with some other sized font which is then also displayed when I return to the command prompt. I then powered down Pico and reapplied power and no HDMI image. Something really funky going on with a mix of using: OPTION RESOLUTION, OPTION DEFAULT MODE, MODE, and FONT If you play around with this I think you should see what I mean. LOVE the I2S by the way - great work!! |

I should get rid of OPTION DEFAULT MODE The expectation is that you do everything in mode 1 which includes colour in the editor and just switch modes in a program There is no advantage of using a default mode other than 1 and downsides as you have seen. You can't possible edit in 1024 mode 2 (256X192) so the firmware automatically swaps to mode 1 when you edit |

That would certainly help - thanks. Is there any mileage in also disabling the MODE command (and arguably FONT) at the command prompt (assuming not a mammoth task)? Edited 2025-01-25 21:54 by WhiteWizzard |

| matherp Guru Joined: 11/12/2012 Location: United KingdomPosts: 10067 |
I've updated the firmware so OPTION DEFAULT MODE/EDIT is probably just about OK now |
||||
| WhiteWizzard Guru Joined: 05/04/2013 Location: United KingdomPosts: 2927 |
Peter, Would it make sense that whatever font-size is used in the Editor (which I think you’ve pre-determined based on OPTION RESOLUTION - and is very readable), that it is also the same sized ALWAYS used at the command-prompt (and hence forced into mode 1 too). Then only the program can alter the font or mode BUT whenever the program is exited/ends then the command prompt is set back to mode 1 at the pre-determined font size (rather than whatever font/colour was possibly set by the program code). It just seems to make sense that command-prompt and editor are consistent (and readable!) at all times. Ideally the user should be able to set the colour of the mode 1 font for the command prompt (and also the EDITOR if Colour-code not set) and this is always displayed/set whenever entering the command-prompt. |

Peter, I tested and can report UDA1334A I2S DAC works fine with latest HDMI/USB beta. PLAY TONE works etc. I could play small FLAC/MP3 980 kb/414 kb files too 3.9 Mb size mp3 file throws heap memmory error , but I did not expected them (bigger files) to play anyways.

I have a newer Pimoroni Pico Plus 2W (PPP2W) with a RP2350B processor, and 8Mb PSRAM. With the PicoMiteRP2350V6.00.02b3 firmware loaded, I can access all the extended GPIO pins (using the extended Freepins subroutine) and activate and access PSRAM using the PSRAM test routine found elsewhere on this website. The MEMORY command also confirms correct specifications. With the current Webmite MMBasic firmware (and previous betas and releases) I cannot access the extended GPIO pins, and cannot activate PSRAM on GP47. Using the command OPTION PSRAM PIN GP19 seems to be accepted, however the PSRAM test subroutine found elsewhere on this website fails to recognize PSRAM. The MEMORY command also fails to recognize PSRAM. I have tested several previous betas and v6 firmware releases and encounter the same conditions. I have also used OPTION RESET and factory reset the PPP2W in my endeavours. Due to my Newbiestatus, I am unsure if full RP2350B functionality should be available when using the Webmite firmware, or there are other technical impediments. Can any Guru offer some guidance BarryH >option list WebMite MMBasic RP2350B Edition V6.00.02b3 OPTION FLASH SIZE 16777216 OPTION LIBRARY_FLASH_SIZE 34000 OPTION COLOURCODE ON OPTION HEARTBEAT OFF OPTION PICO OFF OPTION CPUSPEED 150000 'KHz OPTION DISPLAY 55, 155 OPTION WIFI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, *******************, WebPico - Pimoroni OPTION TELNET CONSOLE ON OPTION PSRAM PIN GP19 >System Information MM.Device$ WebMite RP2350B MM.Info(version) 6.000203 MM.Info(SYSTEM HEAP) 79256 MM.Info(FLASH) 0 >memory Program: 1K ( 0%) Program (42 lines) 207K (100%) Free Library: 1K ( 1%) Library 207K (99%) Free Saved Variables: 16K (100%) Free RAM: 0K ( 0%) 0 Variables 0K ( 0%) General 256K (100%) Free > freepins 'extended version for RP2350B GP0 1 OFF GP1 2 OFF GP2 4 OFF GP3 5 OFF GP4 6 OFF GP5 7 OFF GP6 9 OFF GP7 10 OFF GP8 11 OFF GP9 12 OFF GP10 14 OFF GP11 15 OFF GP12 16 OFF GP13 17 OFF GP14 19 OFF GP15 20 OFF GP16 21 OFF GP17 22 OFF GP18 24 OFF GP19 25 Boot Reserved : PSRAM CS GP20 26 OFF GP21 27 OFF GP22 29 OFF GP23 41 Boot Reserved : CYW43 GP24 42 Boot Reserved : CYW43 GP25 43 Boot Reserved : CYW43 GP26 31 OFF GP27 32 OFF GP28 34 OFF GP29 44 Boot Reserved : CYW43 [LIBRARY] p = MM.Info(pinno gp$) Error : Invalid GPIO BarryH |

This shouldn't be the case. Please check you have the very latest b3 as this was a bug fixed this morning. The firmware doesn't buffer the file just reads it on the fly. Edited 2025-01-25 22:45 by matherp |
