Does anyone have a list of all displays that are supported by MMBasic and which version of MMBasic supports them including a brief note of size and resolution?

Hi Panky,

No sorry , I don't have a list , but in the EPE Magazine August 2017, Geoff did an
11 page article on the Micromite Plus and Explore 64.

At the end (Pages 37-38)he has listed "Supported LCD Panels".

May be good for what you need.

Happy new year.

Do you mean just the displays that are natively supported, or ALL displays including the ones that our resident guru(matherp) has written drivers for?

I think it would be usefull to have a list of all displays that are supported, both stable (official) and development, which version of MM they are supported/developed on and which chip. It's not a small task and it could also include which board platform has inbuilt connections.

I intend to start on it today and will post progress.

I would like to have a copy of that when you are finished.

So many different display drivers have been written now, it is hard to keep track of them all.

good work panky

it is extremely useful having all the information in one spreadsheet or chart, as the number of displays will over time continue to expand.

might i suggest that the column 'Platform/MM Version Support (stable or beta)' be split up into a number of columns for each micromite variant: MM2/MX170, MM+/MX470, MZ, RPi, armH7, armL4, etc. into each cell then have a short code: INT (internal support), CFn(external support via cfunction), BAS (external support via basic code), b INT / b CFn / b BAS (betas).

for any displays that use external support (cfunction or basic), it would be really good if geoff (are you there geoff?) could maintain the latest driver on his website as the 'master version'. while it is fine getting code out there in attachments to forum posts, those posts quickly get lost amongst the masses.

cheers,
rob :-)

Hi Panky

Thanks for starting this off. I have spent the afternoon learning how to set up a table in the Fruit of the Shed. I have put a few samples in there based on your research and some things I have recently used.
It allows links to be embedded, you can link the relevant TBS threads, purchase options drivers etc.
The wiki table can be maintained by any one with an interest so work could be shared.
Does the FoS wiki look useful for this.I find being able to pull up relevant threads to be very useful.

Gerry,

I really like what you have done on TFOTS - I will try to add to it when I get a chance and to keep the spreadsheet in-sync (mainly for my own off-line use but happy to share).
