 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 guys, I want to put an armmite and a touch screen in one case. I would like to be able to see and run the BAS files on the system. My first idea was to emulate a few keys (ESC, Curser, F-keys,...) via GPIO or PS/2 so I can navigate in the fileexplorer. But how do I start the command "files" and how do I simulate CTRL-C. Or is there a file explorer with touch support? Then I can save the keys completely. What is the best way to do this? Best regards Artem |

I'm not sure what the Armmite F4 is capable of now. The PicoMite supports CHAIN to allow you to pass control to programs stored in flash, but that might be just on that platform. Simply using FILES [fspec$] will let you display the files in the current directory of the SDcard and RUN file$ will run a file. I don't think you can run the file manager from inside MMBasic though.

Yes, you could write a program to do what you are asking. I did it for the CMM2. The F4 would be slightly different but doable. You could start with my CMM2 version and remove the unnecessary bits: https://www.c-com.com.au/mmhelp/filemanager.htm Jim VK7JH MMedit |
