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.

  Quote  I did the option reset but after I loaded the latest version
I just loaded the latest version and it's now working when I do


OPTION RESET clears the options to default. You then need to set up again the options you want including the sdcard

I did that
I then went back to Version 5.07.00 dis the option reset and then
OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP18, GP19, GP16
OPTION  SDCARD GP15
OPTION LCDPANEL SSD1331, RL, gp21,gp20,gp17

The rest was deleted because again I'm an idiot

I formatted the SD card in FAT on the computer and its now ok

Don't use Exfat it doesn't work lol

I can't figure out how to format it with the Pico though with a new card

I think you can't. You should use a PC or something similar.

Maybe this should be better/explicitly explained in the manual?

It's the screen protector tear-off. Just hasn't removed it.


you see that right

  Quote  Sometimes the keys remain inverted.


Please provide demo code and instructions as to what to do to create the issue



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.

  homa said  Also there seems to be no possibility to limit the text length, or the text length is only partially displayed

No, there is no way to limit the length of the entered text.  However, you can trap the key up interrupt and rewrite the text (ie, truncate it) to suit your application.



That's a pity, because it would have made things so nice and simple with just the command.
Another option "max length" would be a great thing. Or even better the check with regex :-)

Sorry for the delayed answers, but I am 10 hours behind here in Germany.

Is this the answer or solution to the problem?

  panky said   (shortened and modified) ... Touch works correctly on MM+ v 5.05.03 (changes the intensity on screen when touched and alters the control value) VS. MMbasic for Pico  v5.07.01b6 ...


That's right:
  Mixtel90 said  I'm a bit concerned that we may miss bugs due to the many threads on the PicoMite ...


A collective thread would be great. The version and a keyword would then be in the header. The rest is in the text.

I'm not sure that string length detection in a text entry box could be made to work without a lot of messing about. The number of characters changes with the size of the box, the font size and how many blank pixels you want at each end of the string. All these are fixable if you use the key up interrupt. You could even enter right or centre justified text that way. Likewise with numbers. You could even shrink the font after x number of characters to allow more characters in the box for, say, a long part number.

Adding ease of use often takes away flexibility. It's a balancing act.

Only a guess...
You have a problem with that SD card. Not all of them work and I've seen similar things happen. Part of the problem is that it takes less current to read than it does to write. Writing can take a lot of current on some cards, causing volt drop and causing the card to shut down. Once that happens it's flagged as being removed. Sometimes you can add a filter, a low value resistor and an electrolytic capacitor in the VCC line to the card. That doesn't always fix it (been there, done that). The answer is generally a new card from a reputable manufacturer.

I have similar problem more often on CMM2 after FW update from 5.07 to 5.0701, never had it before...

Solved by shorting 1k resistor in SD_SCK line on ILI9341 shield.

PS
All resistors were changed to 91 Ohm + 10uF capacitor to power lines.

Good news! I'll try that with the cards that wouldn't work previously.

I had exactly the same problem and this is the solution.
Thanks for sharing.

I have the same issue clearly depending on the browser I use.

Old WATERFOX shows the same denied access but new FIREFOX works fine and the usual download window opens!

I always have a problem downloading from Geoff's site using Pale Moon - it doesn't work. Vivaldi works fine, no problem. There are other sites around (my bank is one) that Pale Moon is having problems with now, Geoff's isn't the only one. I suspect that they are only testing with Chrome-based browsers and, possibly, the current Firefox now.

Edge, Chromium, Opera, Opera Neon, Vivaldi, Epic, Brave, Comodo Dragon, SRWare Iron and probably a few more are all based on the Chrome browser. Most probably don't send quite as much of your data to Google than Chrome does.

Firefox is probably the last of the major browsers that isn't based on Chrome.

Chromium is the open source version of Chrome. It's also owned by Google, who use it to try things out on. In theory it doesn't send your info to Google, but who knows? It's a lot of code to examine if you want to be certain.
