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.

A minor /cosmetic issue.

Option List does not show the HRes and VRes for a USER LCDPANEL if it is set from a CSub. I think using HRES and VRES in the code below in lieu of DisplayHRes and DisplayVRes will fix it.(file MM_Misc.c)

PicoMite MMBasic Version 5.07.05RC7
OPTION LCDPANEL USER 0, 0


void printoptions(void){
...
if(Option.DISPLAY_TYPE == DISP_USER) PO3Int("LCDPANEL USER", DisplayHRes, DisplayVRes);

becomes

void printoptions(void){
...
if(Option.DISPLAY_TYPE == DISP_USER) PO3Int("LCDPANEL USER", HRes, VRes);

@Peter,

RC7: Have not seen any more problems with PS2 keyboard. Not sure what you fixed, but you fixed it.

Thanks,

Hi!

Is there a chance so in a next firmware to use/load a file stored in Raspberry pi Pico (copied there from computer) so not need to use SD card?
Or save a file in Rasperry Pi Pico to be visible from computer and can use it Picomite later not using SD card

Best bet is to assume not and work around the limitation.

Are you talking about something different from the flash slots? (See FLASH in the manual for options). You can store 7 programs in flash slots with no need for an SD card.

Found a problem with "PicoMiteVGAV5.07.05RC7" Play wav "example" doen't work anymore.
No audio. I tried it with my previous version (PicoMite firmware V5.07.04) from Geoffg.net and on this version audio works.

Configuration is the same on both versions:

OPTION KEYBOARD GR
OPTION SDCARD GP13,GP10,GP11,GP12
OPTION AUDIO GP6, GP7

I tried it three times, even with different Picos... No wav audio on the latest release candidate  

Greetings
Daniel

Audio does work but is killed when you return to the command prompt

Try
play tone 400,400:pause 1000


This was introduced because Tom wanted all program ends to kill audio but I overdid it  
Will fix in next release

Ahh... I see. Thank you for your hint. I was just checking my new PCB and found out that play wav via command prompt doesn't work anymore. So I have to try this with a real program + pause... ok.

Greetings

PicoMite V5.07.05RC8

https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip

Corrects reporting of MM.HRES and MM.VRES by OPTION LIST when a user driver is loaded
Fixes bug in PLAY TONE n. m. d, interrupt which caused the interrupt not to fire
Fixes bug in ERASE command when erasing arrays
Fixes bug in audio commands executed at the command line - introduced in previous RC
Implements mm.info$(sound) to report status of the audio channel
Implements ON PS2 interrupt. This triggers an interrupt whenever the PicoMite sees a message from the PS2 interface.
Use MM.info(PS2) to report the raw message received. This allows the programmer to trap both keypress and release.
See https://wiki.osdev.org/PS/2_Keyboard for the scan codes (Set 2).
Resets default fonts when a new program is loaded or the NEW command is executed.

Hi Peter,
Updated PicoCFunctions.h The one in RC8 download does not use the new Baseaddress of 0x10000310. Also the option_s definition has been updated to match the definition in fileIO.h, not sure when these become different but a couple options have been added.

V1.6.3  struct option_s updated to match 5.07.05 as defined in fileIO.h

What do "transparent pixels" mean with regards BLITE (or SPRITE) WRITE?
Could there be a means to specify which colour number is to be treated as transparent?

This comes about from Martin H's 'On the Road Again' demo code. His car sprites include the colour black for the tyres, so using black as transparent won't work well. This would be solved if we could specify which of the colours [white, yellow, lilac, brown, fuchsia, rust, magenta, red, cyan, green, cerulean, midgreen, cobalt, myrtle, blue and black] is to be transparent.

that would be a great addition. If the sprite now touches the edge or the grass, the background shines through the tires (because they are black). Another possibility, but certainly more complex, would be to create a binary mask, which decides what remains visible from the background. The calculation would be
BG-Pixel AND Mask-Pixel OR Sprite-Pixel

but that would be a whole new program function. I'm glad that we got the possibility of layers and framebuffers in the new version at all.

Instead of black (for tyres etc) could use a near-black (so the transparent black can stay as is)?

Surely I can, I tryed the darkest color possible RGB (0,64,0).
This looks a little flat and low-contrast, but it works. Vegipetes proposal, to be able to choose the transparent color, would still have a charm .

Put a 4k7 trim-pot in series with GP19 - the Green Low bit pin. You can then adjust  RGB(0,64,0) to look almost black when needed.
It will only have a small effect on other colours.

Dark-Green is the new Black
I could also do something like using an OR Gate for Red,GreenHigh,Blue and connect the Output together with GreenLow to an AND Gate, so that the Output (New GreenLow) is always 0 if non of the other ColorBits are 1.



Compared to your approach, you only lose one color (Dark Green) and not 8

nice but with both ideas, you'll lose the Compatibility.

It would only look good on your Pico. Thus, the program would be not, or limited usable for all others.

Please note that the dot clock (pixel clock) is 25MHz(40ns). You need fast logic to do this (with gate delay of 10ns, 2 gates = 20ns, you loose half the pixel). Or you "delay" the other 3 color signals by the same amount (3 x 2 gates), and potentially Hsync (1 x 2 gates). Vsync may not be that critical.
