 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. |

Execute expects functionality to return to the next command. It has a timeout of 1 second for the processing to return. You can execute gosub or function calls as long as they meet the timeout requirement |

The Execute is very powerful, great stuff! Would it be possible to make that timeout value variable? Something like Execute Cmd$,Timeout perhaps. That would make things even more flexible. Cheers, Fred |

Hi Peter, Sorry to be a nuisance, I've had a search around but haven't found anything, is there a utility, or any hot tips on defining your own fonts. I have worked out the format of the data & defined a single : but it took ages to do. I'm still on the theme of clocks & am writing code to generate as many different ways of showing the time as possible, the "clock" will then randomly display one face for say a minute or whatever, before moving on to the next. I've done a roman numeral digital clock, but it would be good to be able to define a tall narrow font with no edges, obviously I only need I V X L : all other character can be null, so ultimately I can do it by hand, but a faster method would be very handy, for the future, I also couldn't find the "Additional fonts and information can be found in the Embedded fonts folder in the PicoMite firmware download" (from the manual) Regards Kevin Edited 2022-03-02 05:34 by Bleep |

I don't think the PicoMite supports downloadable fonts at all. You can embed them in your program, but not load them in from a file. See the DEFINEFONT command. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

@ Bleep would 'Font Tweak' help available from Tassie Jims web site. I am using a downloaded font with a PicoMite (not vga) and as Mixtel90 says you have to include it in your program.

Hi, thanks I'll have a look at Font Tweak, yes I have embedded the single ":" font as data, I never said I was trying to load fonts. Regards Kevin |

@Iizby: I tested your program earlier in this thread. http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=14527&P=6#183092 I had to make a small change before I got the TEMPR function to work. This line in your code gave errors and the PicoMite stopped: s$ = str$(tempr(pin(msg(1))),3,3) ' get the input on the I/O pin Changed it into this and it worked: s$ = str$(tempr(msg(1)),3,3) ' get the input on the I/O pin Tested with: > ?mm.ver 5.070405 > ?mm.device$ PicoMite > MM Edit V4.1.4 OS Ver:10 /Fred |

Fred--glad you got it to work. I must have copied the version from my PC without making the correction I had made on the PicoMite to get it to work. I still intend to do the tweaks I mentions, but distractions keep a-coming. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |
