Updated my 2 CMM2's yesterday & today to b16. The STM programmer initially wouldn't connect to the Waveshare one until I reloaded the programmer.

Small thing with the Waveshare one on a Dell monitor, my COLOUR RGB(BROWN)'s seem to be a lot redder than the were with an earlier version. Hard to distinguish between Rec & Brown actually.

The other single board unit on an ACER monitor is a bit better but not much.

Before & after examples from the Waveshare version below. (The same temp readings is purely coincidental)

I had to redownload the current beta and it is now V5.07.00b16.bin. I can find no mention of it here like what changed. Thanks.

Quote s it remotely possible for PAGE DISPLAY to refer to (a section of) the FRAMEBUFFER?

Also, could PAGE WRITE include a numerical value to refer to the FRAMEBUFFER. Maybe, say, 999? Or, gasp, -1? (This would be equivalent to FRAMEBUFFER WRITE.)

Lastly, I am getting an odd error with FRAMEBUFFER WINDOW when FRAMEBUFFER WRITE is active:

1: No, memory for display has to be configured differently to variable memory
2: No, I try and avoid magic numbers to the extent possible
3: Thanks, easy fix will be in the next beta

V5.07.00b16 now available

http://geoffg.net/Downloads/Maximite/CMM2_Beta.zip

Fixes bug in FRAMEBUFFER WINDOW
Adds error checking to SPRITE HIDE SAFE to give an error if the sprite either doesn't exist or is not showing

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

OPTION SLEEP n

n is the number of minutes (0-255) before the monitor is turned off when at the command line. Set to 0 to disable. Any keypress will wake the monitor. Does not affect a running program.

Use PAGE DISPLAY -1 to turn off the monitor if required in a program. NB this command is only allowed now in a program to avoid conflicting with OPTION SLEEP

No: not the intent of the command; load and save are a pair and load loads everything in the file so having different bits in the save doesn't work

Hi,
did you try OPTION CONSOLE SAVE after? In my experience it still sends all to the serial console if I didn't use SAVE immediately...

Hi, and welcome!

Defects found in beta releases should indeed be reported in the thread that Peter creates for each new version (e.g. this one for the 5.07 release).

I believe there is a "master thread" for reporting CMM2 documentation errors.

Cheers, and happy MaxiMiting!

Enjoy Every Sandwich / Joe P.

From CMM2 manual: MM.INFO(FRAMEBUFFER) Returns the physical memory location of the framebuffer. This is useful if you need to POKE/PEEK the contents of the page.

(Note: 2 "d"s in address, if you were searching.)
