 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. |

Eh, when I were a lad our error messages were WHAT? HOW? and SORRY. Young 'uns these days, don't know how lucky they are! (Any other fans of Dr. Li Chen Wang's Palo Alto Tiny BASIC?) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Heh, in the 80's I would get errors like "BS error in line 20" or "LS error in line 100" or "OM error in line 10" so you had to memorize what the error codes meant. |

where you a "lad"? :) Or did you see the error of your ways? :) in the 80's data was 8bit numbers that represented z80 assembler commands that were poked into ram and called as usr. No error messages just rubbish on the display. using win the editing with a mouse eventually becomes the norm but some folk memorise shortcut key combinations. I have apologised for saying there maybe problems with rpipico/mmbasic/mmedit as it's a new implementation. mmedit doesn't need a terminal as I was told it has a poor one built in. Having only just got mmedit to work is it ok or would I be better of using notepad and copy/pasteing the code into teraterm? I read teraterm only copies 256 characters which is why files I've copied are corrupted with lines missing maybe. |

Where "read"? I can easily insert >256 characters in Teraterm (v 4.85). Shift-Insert. Regards Michael Edited 2022-08-09 00:15 by twofingers causality ≠correlation ≠coincidence |

Maybe he means the length of a single line? Generally these things are documented. Though a line anything like 256 chars long is unreadable anyway (and easily split). John |

Teraterm can copy/paste large amounts of text. Maybe you are trying to paste directly into the MMBasic editor--that's where the restriction is. For the third time (from me--also from others). In your PC editor, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C (to copy all); switch to teraterm connected to your Picomite; press F10 (AUTOSAVE); right-click or Alt-V (to paste); when pasting is done, Ctrl-Z to save and return to the ">" prompt. Takes longer to write it out or read it than it does to do it. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Are you not using MMEDIT and Maximite Control Center *MMCC* to upload files? It's pretty much the easiest way. |

teraterm copy/paste 256 characters only |

Well, reading sprites from data is slow. I'll try original draw sprites from arrays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SwoluBfOAI |

I can cut & paste to my heart's content if I need to. I rarely need to as I "structure" my programming, "Pushing" the tested and working routines down as I add new, untested ones at the beginning. It reduces scrolling and having to move stuff around. I seriously don't like GUI editors and IDEs. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

I tried pasting this and got about 12 lines worth before it went off the rails. I seem to recall that this issue came up before and there was a matter of setting some TeraTerm timing parameter. Do you, or does anyone, recall what this might have been? If I recall correctly, the problems I have seen in pasting into the editor have been when I was pasting into existing code and only got one line's worth--maybe that was because the editor lost incoming characters as it was pushing down the text in the display. ~ Edited 2022-08-09 02:36 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

2 msec/char and 50 msec/line works for me too (230400 Baud). I think the slow setup is from the old days of Micromites at 38400 Baud. Put a "Post It" on your laptop?  causality ≠correlation ≠coincidence |

The line delay is needed to give the 'mite time to process and save the line. The size of the delay needed depends on the device. I found 100mS covers most devices. The baud rate also has some influence. I have found that 0mS character delay and 100 mS line delay suits my collection of devices. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

You probably didn't start by entering AUTOSAVE You can either enter AUTOSAVE by the keyboard or as the first line of the code you are pasting VK7JH MMedit |
