 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. |

@Peter, V050900b6: If I have a "CSUB name" in the main program, I cannot retrieve the start address with address%=PEEK(CFUNADDR name). This works okay in V050800 Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Thanks - omission in the move to 16-bit command tokens - will fix |

Ahaaaaaa, You where tired of the 127+127 limit for commands/functions. Constantly squeezing, and packing functionality where it did not exactly fit... Good move, maybe you could ask Tom to run the automatic test sequence again to see if there are more places in the code where the change corrupted previous functionality.

The test code was run before I posted b6 but it didn't pick up a couple of things including this one and the comment bug. It is only the commands that are 16-bit, functions/operators are a whole different ballgame Edited 2024-03-12 20:33 by matherp |

I have been playing with one of the PicoVGAUSB 1.0 boards from lizby and have been trying keyboards, game controllers etc. I loaded a few of my older programs and most work just fine under beta3. Finally got a male A to Male A USB cable and upgraded to beta6. One of my test programs now fails with a complaint about 0 being invalid in a string print statement (line with "printit"). I enclose the program for testing by others. mmandel2.zip Edit: I realize this is an older version which runs fine on 5.08 but has extra spaces at the beginning of comment lines which is a known issue in beta6. If edited it still causes a problem in the string index though. Edited 2024-03-17 02:28 by okwatts |

Yes that works, Thanks Peter. |

@Peter, Suggestion: MASK the kHz in OPTION CPUSPEED XXXXXX. I tried OPTION CPUSPEED 131072 to be able to run PIO outputting exactly 32.768MHz (yes: MHz) for an FPGA. This bricks the pico (no CDC connection anymore), and you need to nuke flash. Apparently not all CPU speeds result in a working USB interface. Regards, Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

That doesn't work as some values are invalid (e.g.301MHz). I'll put a proper validation into the next beta |

Hi Peter, If you add some CPU speed validation, please don't rule out 378Mhz as all of my Picomites will run at this speed quite happily, I only have one Picomite LCD that tops out at 376Mhz, I am currently able to run both my VGA Picos (a standard one I built & the USB version I got from you) reliably at 378Mhz by hacking the saved options file. Regards Kevin. |
