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.

Hi folks,

I'm just doing a fix or two to "The Welcome Tape" to ensure compatibility with the upcoming 5.07.01 firmware.

I don't supposed there is anyone running 5.07.00 who has a copy of "The Welcome Tape 1.0.0" and could run up the "Mandelbrot Explorer" program and post a screen-shot (or even blury photo) of the Intro/Help page ? My CMM2's are all now running the RC1 firmware and I'm strapped for time and could do without having to wind one of them back.

Best wishes,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Blurry photo?  Challenge accepted.  Hope this helps...



Thanks for your continuing efforts with the Welcome Tape and CMM2 generally

Thank you Tim, that confirms my suspicion that the image hiding the Mouse Control instructions was a pre-existing issue and not new for 5.07.01. I guess I should add it to my bug list.

Best wishes,

To ensure compatibility with the new 5.07.01 firmware here is an updated version of "The Welcome Tape":

   https://github.com/thwill1000/cmm2-welcome/releases/tag/release-1.0.1

ChangeLog
---------

Version 1.0.1 - 16-Aug-2021:
- For firmware 5.07.00 or later.
- This is a maintenance release, it contains the same catalogue of
  programs as Version 1.0.0.
- Fixed crash when trying to show the menu's "Credits" page with
  firmware 5.07.01.
- Updated "Mandelbrot Explorer" to version 1.4.1
  - fixed bug on help/intro screen where image partially covered the
    instructions for using the mouse.
  - updated mouse support; if OPTION MOUSE is set then PS/2 or Hobbytronics
    mouse should work as configured.
  - updated so that {Esc} and {B} keys now return user to the help/intro screen


Best wishes,

Tom

I would appreciate it if someone with the Hobbytronics USB mouse interface could confirm that it works with my changes to Mandelbrot Explorer - you will need to set OPTION MOUSE as per the CMM2 manual.

Best wishes,
