BUG?

After using

OPTION SERIAL CONSOLE uartapin, uartbpin

to redirect the console, I want to go back to USB. So I entered:

OPTION SERIAL CONSOLE DISABLE

This works, however, at the next reboot the console redirection is back to the UART.
Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Bug in `xmodem`?

Under some conditions, `xmodem` reports not enough memory:

> xmodem send
Error : Not enough memory
> memory
Program:
18K (18%) Program (727 lines)
61K (82%) Free

RAM:
0K ( 0%) 0 Variables
2K ( 1%) General
109K (99%) Free

`Clear` does not help here, only `new` and reloading the program from flash:

> flash overwrite 1
> new
> flash load 1
> xmodem send

Looks like reading the Chip Temp "pin(temp)"
makes the read of the 1/3 VSYS "Pin(GP29)" low

Simple Test Code:

Timer = 0
once = 0
Do
Print Pin(gp29),Timer
If Timer>5000 And once=0 Then
Print "Read Temp " Pin(temp)
once = 1
EndIf
Pause 750
Loop

Watch how the Timer goes > 5000 it reads the temp and the PIN(GP29) goes low

run
1.602991453 0.832
1.596007326 752.047
1.602857143 1503.132
1.597887668 2254.135
1.595067155 3005.189
1.604065934 3756.309
1.602991453 4507.371
1.594664225 5258.381
Read Temp 31.72082634
0.6994871795 6010.24

0.6994871795 7512.354
0.6994871795 8263.463

"run" resets the values

GUI SWITCH command not changing the on-screen intensity when touched. The control value also does not change.
The command works correctly on MM+ v 5.05.03 (changes the intensity on screen when touched and alters the control value).

MMbasic for Pico v5.07.01b6 loaded, options are

OPTION COLOURCODE ON
OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP10,GP11,GP12
OPTION SYSTEM I2C GP20,GP21
OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9481, RLANDSCAPE,GP2,GP3,GP4
OPTION RTC AUTO ENABLED
OPTION GUI CONTROLS 100
OPTION MEMORY 77, 77, 6
OPTION TOUCH GP5,GP6
GUI CALIBRATE 0, 286, 3964, 1296, -846
>

The following program demonstrates

font 1,2
gui interrupt t_down
gui switch #1,"touch~me",10,10,100,100,rgb(black),rgb(white)

do
loop

sub t_down
print "touched", ctrlval(#1)
end sub

When run

> run
touched 0
touched 0
touched 0
...

Re GUI swith touch problem, this additional info may prove helpful.

When the GUI switch is in split mode, ie. acting like a rocker switch, when touched the control value changes and the switch flips to the alternated side ie. it works exactly as per the manual. Also, when the control value is changed from the command line, the switch flips back and forth, exactly as in the manual again.

When the GUI switch is in the single push switch mode, if the switch is touched, nothing happens - the display does not changed and the control value remains unchanged. The touch is recognised in that it generates an interrupt and shows the x and y co-ords to be in the right place - just doesn't seem to be getting to the updating the display and control value. However, if the control value is changed from the command line, both the display and the control value change correctly as per the description in the manual.

Hope this helps. With my (VERY) limited c knowledge, for the life of me I can not see what appears to be wrong. As the split (rocker) switch mode of GUI switch works perfectly, I also can't see how it may be something I am doing wrong or misunderstanding about the GUI switch operation, particularly as it all works perfectly on an Micromite Plus running the latest code.

Doug.

Edit - Late news: The 470 I have tested on is running 5.05.03, not the latest (04). I don't have a copy of the 5.05.03 source but looking at 5.05.02 source, I can see there is a difference in the DrawSwitch function which again, with my very limited knowledge of c is where I think the problem may be. If anyone is running 5.05.04 on a Micromite Plus, could you test the GUI switch functionality and report?

Doug.

Confirmed:
- fails under MMBasic v 5.05.04 on a Micromite +.
- works under MMBasic v 5.05.02 on a Micromite +.

Can I confirm current known bug status?

There is a bug in ADC read after reading PIN(TEMP). This is found and will be fixed in next beta

There is a bug in using GUI switch as found by Panky. This is common to all current versions of MMBasic with GUI support and has been passed to Geoff

There is a report of keys getting stuck in GUI. This is not a bug

Quote Backlight 75
GUI NUMBERBOX #1, 100,200,150,35,RGB(YELLOW),RGB(BLACK)
CtrlVal(#1)="##123"
GUI textbox #2, 100,100,150,55,RGB(BLUE),RGB(BLACK)
CtrlVal(#2)="##Hier Text"

That's all, i was just trying to understand and test the commands.

I provoked the behaviour by pressing the virtual key for a long time.

The artifact is caused by the program having terminated. Put DO:LOOP at the end and it won't occur

Anything I've missed?

Picomite(print mm.ver --> 5.07)

What I am doing wrong here?
I always get wrong number no matter what I enter 1,2,3,4 etc

INPUT "Number",nbr
IF nbr <> 1 or nbr <> 5 Then Print "Wrong number"

This works ok. Prints wrong number on all except 1-5

INPUT "Number",nbr
IF nbr < 1 or nbr >5 Then Print "Wrong number"

IF nbr <> 1 or nbr <> 5 Then Print "Wrong number"

If the input number doesn't equal 1 OR doesn't equal 5
Whatever the number it can't be both 1 and 5 so will always be true.

You should be using AND

Some consider it nice to put brackets in, even though they aren't required in this case. It's purely a matter of readability, but it can help a lot if the program is modified later.

INPUT "Number",nbr
IF (nbr <> 1) and (nbr <> 5) Then Print "Wrong number"

Yes it`s <> not ==
I`m going to take my pills :D

Mixtel90
Agree 100% And I`m using this practice in other IDE`s
But in Picomite`s MMB it takes additional bytes of flash storage :o)

You know the program in flash is tokenised, don't you? Unless you're *really* jamming the program in a few brackets might be ok. :)

I'll send you a fresh batch of dried frog pills.
