 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. |

Please find attached version V5.05.01 of the Pi-cromite software. This brings the numbering back in line with the MM2/MM+ 2018-11-27_210922_mmbasic.zip 2018-11-27_211352_Pi-cromite_Manual.pdf The code contains the new GUI controls and the various bug fixes that Geoff has included in 5.05.01. The manual is updated to include instructions for starting and running MMBasic automatically on boot of the Pi. This version runs and is tested under Raspbian Stretch. I will no longer be supporting Jessie. |

Thanks for the update. The manual still refers to AUTO which is not a known command. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

This baffled me. In pi-cromite MMBasic 5.5.1 accessed through puTTY, I printed the contents of a long string, which was a slightly modified copy of a file. Only the last part of the string was visible, and when I scrolled up, above the text I had output were the linux commands I had entered prior to and upon starting MMBasic. Ok, so of what I printed, I'm only seeing a screen's worth, and the rest has scrolled off. Is there a way to scroll back through the output of MMBasic for more than a screen's worth of text?

The Pi-cromite operates in a windowed environment (always has). This allows cursor positioning and other facilities on the console (see CURSOR command in the manual). If you need to see more increase the size of the putty terminal window. The Pi-cromite code will automatically adjust to the new window size. |

Thanks. I already have the window from top to bottom of screen. Does MMEdit preserve the output so one could scroll back? I'll test it. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Love the SYSTEM command for getting a file into a long string. Dim as integer a(500) ' 4K bytes system "cat filename",a() Compared to what I had done previously--about 8 lines to open the file, start a loop, read a line, concatenate to long string, loop until EOF, close the file. How do you do this within MMBasic--named pipe or what (I mean with underlying C code)? Is there a similarly simple way to write a long string to a file?

Yes, but for some reason it didn't make the last manual update - now included. 2018-11-29_034705_Pi-cromite_Manual.pdf open "filename" for output as #n longstring print #n,ls%() close #1 |

What am I doing wrong here?  This statement read a file of 3957 bytes into the long string. system "cat geotmpl4.html",a%() But then I couldn't print it. I've been able to process the long strings read in this way. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

longstring print #1,a%() |

MMEdit works as you want provided you are using the serial port option. MMEdit can't do SSH. You could try installing TELNET server on the Pi but MMEdit still might have problems as it only does RAW, not true telnet. Have you tried TeraTerm? Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Is there any way to do the autorun using SSH wirelessly or using the USB Cable? I've got the MM so I can run the program remotely by SSH using Terra Term or Putty and the program will stay running when it's disconnected I'd just like it "if" it was possible to auto restart if there was a power cut |

Yes: see appendix G of the manual |

| lew247 Guru Joined: 23/12/2015 Location: United KingdomPosts: 1702 |
I actually have read it fully I cannot get the autostart working because my usb cable connects using SSH not as a serial port I can't get it working as a serial port hence why I asked if it could be done using SSH |

The method described works using SSH wirelessly. This is a new appendix make sure you are using the latest manual |

I've followed the instructions in the latest Picromite manual exactly I actually had before I posted here, I do try things before asking for help and I do search to try and find the answers before asking I'm getting this when the Pi Zero W reboots pi@raspberrypi:~ $ screen -D -r There is no screen to be detached. To make sure I hadn't completely messed it up over the past 2 weeks trying I downloaded the latest version of Stretch Lite and installed it completely from scratch. Followed the instructions to the letter in the appendix and I still get the exact same thing. With MM running on the Pi after manually starting Screen first I can start my weather program with no problems and it displays with no issue I can close Putty and reconnect it again and the program stays running but I cannot press Ctrl Z to exit MM while the program is running and the Screen does not autorun on boot and I have edited the correct file in the correct location I have tried doing it both ways, one using File explorer direct on the Pi and also direct on the Pi through the commands while it's running But it won't run and I did do the chmod +x start.bash command |

Lew, I am sure that Peter will answer but you don't need the -d when using the Screen command to attach. So its Screen -r to bring up your working session and Screen -d to close (or detach from it). Look up the Linux Screen command in Google there are also a couple of Utube videos I found that help to explain things a little. I had these issues at first but it does seems to work well when you get the drift. Mike Codenquilts |

Have you put the command in /etc/rc.local after the exit 0? It must be before - sorry should have been clearer on this. Use ctrl-C to stop the program then ctrl-z to exit mmbasic |
