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  I'm not sure why I need to justify every decision but feel free to use your method and other can use whatever they want. There are many ways to skin a cat and having a choice is normally considered a good thing


as i asked: regarding INTERRUPT [myint] (pg 100 of the 'user manual'), is the purpose of this command primarily to allow a basic subroutine to be called from within a CSub?

it does seem to be a reasonable query to make, especially as there could be some other function that is not at first glance obvious.


cheers,

"This is interesting but what happens during reset (Picomite VGA output startup message so activity on GP19?)"

Yes I didn't think of that. To make the scheme work VGA console would need to be disabled.
I think OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE will do it.

It looks useful elsewhere, too, as a way to lock out (other) interrupts (preferably for a short time).

@flasherror

In the "PicoMite VGA Check" thread there is a suggestion for a mapping that may do what you want, untested.


Edit
To get reliable switching of the GP19 output I think it will be necessary to redraw the whole screen immediately after each change of the Intensity bit, so it is only suitable for an output that changes infrequently and isn't time critical. Switching a relay perhaps.

If using the map on the other thread, use

CLS blackD(0)
or
CLS blackD(1)

near the start of the program, after the re-mapping, to set the initial state.

PULLUPs/PULLDOWNs don't seem to work for the new SETPIN pin,CIN,options

In External.c around line 490 when testing the option for PULLUP or PULLDOWN the code is testing against edge, it should test against option.

I am pretty sure the pullups/pulldown aren't working as is.


case EXT_CNT_IN:        
       case EXT_FREQ_IN:   // same as counting, so fall through
       case EXT_PER_IN:        // same as counting, so fall through
                                   edge = GPIO_IRQ_EDGE_RISE;
                                   if(cfg==EXT_CNT_IN && option==2)edge = GPIO_IRQ_EDGE_FALL;
                                   if(cfg==EXT_CNT_IN && option>=3)edge = GPIO_IRQ_EDGE_FALL | GPIO_IRQ_EDGE_RISE;
                                   if(edge==1 || edge==4)gpio_pull_down (PinDef[pin].GPno);
                                   if(edge==2 || edge==5)gpio_pull_up (PinDef[pin].GPno);

Hello,

I have a question about the Num Lock and Caps Lock feature in the console.
When I press Num-Lock or Caps-Lock in the VGA console the parser gives me a "3" respectively. (After that Caps-Lock is activated.)

Is it because of my german keyboard layout or even because of the keyboard ?
All other entries are correct.

I am using the Firmware Version: PicoMiteVGA V5.07.03RC16

Thanks and best regards.

Its a bug - I wish you had posted yesterday  

I've fixed it and sent Geoff the revised files. I'll post when the download has been updated

UPDATE

Now updated - download 5.07.03 again and it should be fixed

Wow Peter - what a fast Fix !  
You are great !  


I'm afraid to ask...

I'm trying to play normal WAV files. (without success)
I convert standard WAV files in Audacity to 8bit unsigned but somehow
the playback routine or my incorrectly converted WAV file hangs.

I have read the instructions in the manual but without success.

Anyway thanks for your fast help !

Oh... sorry my mistake !  

The WAV-Output works good !

My mistake was that I forgot to do a clear flash earlier.
After reloading the firmware, everything runs very satisfactorily.

Thanks and best regards !
