I can get the problem with Flappy to occur. If I load "flappy.bas" and quit the program with Ctrl+C, and then play an .mp3 file with "file.mp3," the record spins at 33 rpm instead of 45 rpm. I want to try it with the original file because I might have made some changes in the past. I've now transferred all the files to filename A: and am starting from filename A: I think the original Flappy file came from Volhout? Flappy works with an sll3sfx2.mod file from 119908. Kind regards, Jan. |

What is the music file in flappy? If you just play it direct and then ctrl-c and play an mp3 do you get the same?. |

I found a flappyVGA folder from 2024-10-02, which may be the original, and it has the same sound problem. This folder contains 34 files. First, I perform a hard reset on the Raspberry Pi. I play the file sll3sfx2.mod from A: with minifm_RC2, quit the program with Esc, and then start the MP3 file with F5, which then plays slowly. The same thing happens with Ctrl+C. Kind regards, Jan. |

Is there a reason why REDIM PRESERVE of an array of structures doesn't work? I know that ",4" after STRUCT SORT fixes some of the problems of an array which has more elements than data, but REDIM PRESERVE might also provide a clean path (I don't, of course, know the effort required). This works Type test ii As integer aa As string length 15 End Type Dim aray(20) As test Dim integer i,j,k,l,m,n Dim string a,b,c,d,e Dim string animal(5)=("Dog","Cat","Squirrel","Ape","Giraffe","Hippo") For i=0 To 9 aray(i).ii=i aray(i).aa=animal(Int(Rnd*6)) Next i 'ReDim Preserve aray(i) As test 'Struct sort aray().aa ' could use ,4 Struct sort aray().aa,4 For i=0 To 9 Print aray(i).ii;" "+aray(i).aa Next i > run 0 Ape 7 Ape 1 Cat 5 Dog 4 Dog 6 Dog 9 Giraffe 3 Squirrel 8 Squirrel 2 Squirrel This, with REDIM PRESERVE doesn't: Type test ii As integer aa As string length 15 End Type Dim aray(20) As test Dim integer i,j,k,l,m,n Dim string a,b,c,d,e Dim string animal(5)=("Dog","Cat","Squirrel","Ape","Giraffe","Hippo") For i=0 To 9 aray(i).ii=i aray(i).aa=animal(Int(Rnd*6)) Next i ReDim PRESERVE aray(i) As test Struct sort aray().aa 'Struct sort aray().aa,4 For i=0 To 9 Print aray(i).ii;" "+aray(i).aa Next i > run [15] ReDim PRESERVE aray(i) As test Error : Only the last array index can be changed (Or am I doing something wrong?) ~ Edited 2026-01-10 02:42 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Did a quick test. The sound problem seems to be resolved. I've done various tests and haven't seen any issues yet. Edit: Tested the problem. It's now resolved for MODE 2 through 5. So, only MODE 1 isn't working correctly with OPTION DEFAULT MODE 2. Thanks in advance. Even if I don't use TeraTerm, the buffer still overflows, which I've noticed in the last few versions. Has anything changed with com1, GP0, or GP1, or should I look for the problem in TeraTerm or my cables? Kind regards, Jan. |

What buffer? When? |
||||
| JanVolk Guru Joined: 28/01/2023 Location: NetherlandsPosts: 317 |
Peter, I understand that the information is sent to two consoles: the HDMI port and the COM1 port, which then sends it back to Tera Term. That information has to stay somewhere, and when I open Tera Term with my port, my screen sometimes fills with data from the PicoMite. Should I configure something in Tera Term to prevent this from happening? > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 > nnected on channel 2 This is the kind of data I mean. Kind regards, Jan. |

V6.02.00RC4 PicoMiteV6.02.00RC4.zip MMBasic_Structures_Manual.pdf Fixes bug in playing mp3 after mod file Fixes bug in editor showing the bottom magenta line in white Enables REDIM to work with arrays of a structure Adds regular expression support to STRUCT(FIND function - see manual attached Reduces memory requirement for filled polygons For VGA and HDMI versions mm.info(LCDPANEL) will now return the current mode |

Yes, except I should have REDIMed to i-1 rather than i (so the first "0" isn't there). New version flashed, tested, and working. Where else, I ask, can one make a suggestion and have it implemented in a release 1 hour and 8 minutes later? Thank you so much.

MODE 1 with EDIT has now also been resolved with V6.02.00RC4. Thanks for quickly resolving all the issues. Have a nice weekend. |

Again a question about PIO and interrupts. Here is the code: 'PIO TEST piopin BSP4 Option explicit Dim pio_0_FSTAT% = &h50200000 + &h4 'PIO0 Register Offset + Register FSTAT Dim integer fifoR(3), fifoW(3) Dim integer ffR, ffW, tmp Dim string i$ Array Set 0,fifoR() Array Set 0,fifoW() ffW=0 ' PIO clear 0 PIO ASSEMBLE 0,".program bsp1" PIO ASSEMBLE 0,".wrap target" PIO ASSEMBLE 0, "pull block" PIO ASSEMBLE 0, "mov isr, osr" PIO ASSEMBLE 0, "push block" PIO ASSEMBLE 0,".wrap" PIO ASSEMBLE 0,".end program list" ' PIO CONFIGURE 0,0,20000,,,,,,,,,,,,,Pio(.wrap target),Pio(.wrap),,,,,,,1,1 PIO interrupt 0,0,pRX,pTX PIO START 0,0 ' Do i$="" Do While i$="" i$=Inkey$ Loop Print "PIN OUT ..."

Shouldn't it always occur? Even when I change the PIO frequency, this problem gets worse. What have I overlooked? |

Looking at the PIO examples in the manual it all appears to be Base 0, so 1 to 32 = 0 to 31. So I assume you will get 32 bits (base 1) if you specify 31 (base 0). Similar to Dim A%(31) giving you room for 32 integers. Edited 2026-01-11 17:20 by phil99 |

That's a bit of MMBasic-logic. If a parameter of a function is not specified, i.e., is “0,” the default value is used, which is 32-bit for thresholds. However, I have only used this with “PULL” so far. I have not observed any offset due to Base. Albert |

| phil99 Guru Joined: 11/02/2018 Location: AustraliaPosts: 3016 |
As far as I can see PIO are always Base 0 regardless of what OPTION BASE has been set for arrays. |

| matherp Guru Joined: 11/12/2012 Location: United KingdomPosts: 10965 |
These are coded values as per the RP datasheet 0=32, 1-1 etc. I can't help with the program as it is completely uncommented as to what it is trying to do, what the configuration is trying to set up, and how it is being run. The Raspberry Pi datasheet and/or sdk are essential reading to understand PIO usage. It isn't possible to give more than an overview in the MMbasic documentation Edited 2026-01-11 18:23 by matherp |

So an 8 must be entered for 8 bits. Thank you for the explanation. Actually, the PIO Prog does nothing other than push the TX FIFO directly into the RX FIFO via the ISR/OSR. Each time the button is pressed, the values are written from mmbasic to the PIO. I had simply expected the interrupt for TX-Fifo to be empty on a regular basis. But it is not deterministic?! I realise that too, and I am trying to do so. |
