 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. |

V5.07.07RC1 https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Note rename of PicoMiteWeb to WebMite in preparation for magazine articles Fixes bug in PLAY SOUND when switching from B to L or R Implements PLAY FLAC - same as PLAY WAV but for FLAC files I did have one more go at mp3 but the m0+ core just can't hack it Known issues: There is something strange with DATA/READ statements in the Library. This is with Gerry for further investigation and will be sorted or the limitations documented before final release |

V5.07.07RC2 https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Bug in DATA/READ in library now fixed - thanks Gerry Now works like MM2 Change to using a MCP48n2 DAC for audio output OPTION AUDIO SPI CSpin, CLKpin, SDIpin Tie LDAC to GND This saves a pin and with a tweak to timing is now working Minor tweaks to PLAY WAV and PLAY FLAC to avoid unnecessary extra interrupts |

This is correct XMODEM R loads the program into memory MMEDIT uses XMODEM R fname$ which saves the file to the A: drive unless otherwise specified in fname$ This is all explained in the manual |

Peter, Thanks for the hard work and the wonderful version and now running on 4 of my systems with the latest versions and no problems seen yet.  Now to update the manual, everything has been translated into Dutch and is already over 375 pages and is only for the standard PicoMite. Haven't worked with the PicoMiteVGA yet, but collected the hardware and have been working on the PicoMiteWeb version and it also runs fine, but still a lot to learn. Jan. |

It maybe that I am not understanding but the xmodem receive used to work for version 5.07.06, it did not save to the flash but it did reside in "memory" and could be listed as in the webmite instance but this is not the case for the Picomite version in RC2. I have not checked with PicomiteVGA to see which way it behaves. |

XMODEM RECEIVE works as usual here on my 'standard' picomite > Processing file: C:\Users\Jim\Documents\myapps\maximite\apps - Copy\desk_clock.bas > 2 directories, 1 file Blocks: 4 XMODEM RECEIVE "desk_clock.bas" Transfer completed OK! Finished 2 directories, 2 files > MMEdit uses AUTOSAVE to save to active program memory (much quicker) so I haven't tested that. Jim Edited 2023-04-05 08:07 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Perhaps it's a linux thing using picocom and the sx protocol but it does work for WebMite but not PicoMite and PicoMiteVGA (just checked that). In the last two instances xmodem fails but if I include the filename the file is created but is empty. For these last cases it did work as advertised in 5.7.06 Mysteries I guess, but if I use MMedit on linux it does work. Not knowing the source and what may have changed between versions I can only report my experience. EDIT Okay it does appear that in linux with my setup there is an issue that wasn't apparent before. I just tried in Teraterm on WIn 10 and it works fine! Let that be a lesson to me. Edited 2023-04-05 09:29 by okwatts |

try: sudo apt-get remove modemmanager modemmanager is a most hateful package that has no place on a modern linux computer. it handles automatic configuration of an AT compatible dialup modem plugged into a serial port, which is something almost nobody uses any more. it also sometimes 'messes' with serial port traffic when trying to decide if a modem is there. cheers, rob :-), Edited 2023-04-05 10:53 by robert.rozee |

Hello Peter. First, thanks for the new release candidates! I was most happy about the new FLAC support. Also that now for a DAC was decided. Order to rebuild is already out. What I do not understand now is the new naming or renaming? PicoMite/PicoMiteVGA/WebMite The basic name PicoMite with the additions VGA or WEB are ideal to differentiate. Nevertheless, the platform for the microcontroller "Raspberry Pi Pico (W)" becomes clear by the naming. WebMite does not do this in my opinion! And google once for "picomite" ... it comes then also the suitable suggestions!  But it is of course your and Geoff his decision. And I will live with it :-) But a meaningful public relations should be logical and long-term. By the way in the German make it was tagged with Webserver on PicoMite Matthias |

There is a problem with the cursor on the VGA display in Edit mode. In the case of New, it does not appear or only appears when lines of commands have been entered. Then the cursor reappears in between. It is displayed in the terminal, but slips when it is displayed in the line. Especially at the end of the source... > option list PicoMiteVGA MMBasic Version 5.07.07RC2 OPTION SYSTEM I2C GP14,GP15 OPTION COLOURCODE ON OPTION KEYBOARD GR OPTION SDCARD GP13, GP10, GP11, GP12 OPTION AUDIO GP4,GP5, ON PWM CHANNEL 2 > |

Found another error:  Keyword: colour defects |

| matherp Guru Joined: 11/12/2012 Location: United KingdomPosts: 8592 |
That is correct. Colouring only happens for defined commands and functions. Pause happens to be a valid command. Resume isn't |

I agree with Matthias. WebMite sounds like a fork of PicoMite but it is only a different version. The link to the Pico is lost also. Gregor Edited 2023-04-09 08:56 by aFox |

I feel the same. WebMite has lost the Pico... This is not good for a search engine and since every iteration is somehow linked to the "Pico" word it indeed makes sense. But just my opinion :) Maybe there is a good reason for that? Greetings Daniel |

V5.07.07RC3 https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip WARNING: This version will erase all options and flash memory but NOT flash files Fixes bug in editor in VGA version not showing cursor Enhancements to WEB SCAN: Duplicates no longer shown WEB SCAN [array%()] Optionally sends the output to a long string TRACE command is now Library aware. The test for the Library is corrected when TRACE ON is applied, for TRACE LIST, [Lib] is shown for the line number in the library. LIBRARY command can now be use in compound statements allowing better use in programmable functions |
