matherp said I'll revert to a full clear if that is the consensus

I'd certainly appreciate that.

Thanks,

Thank you Peter, I'll be having another look at the gamepad issues as soon as I find some free time.

Best wishes,

Tom

Quote I'll be having another look at the gamepad issues as soon as I find some free time.

The bit I'm stuck with is how the device descriptor maps onto the bits in your sdl coding. In the case of my gamepad the 8 buttons are in byte 5 bits 4,5,6,7 and byte 6 bits 0,1,4,5
The d-pad is pseudo analog in bytes 0 and 1.
If you look at the AI print on the other thread - you can interpret the analog dpad and it points to byte 5 and 6 for the buttons but I can't see how to understand which bits are which. Perhaps that is in the sdl info? Have you got a readout for PID E401, VID 081F? you can let me see?

Found another bug of your latest version (with fixed mode3 - confirmed):

Play mp3 works fine, but wav does not. It plays but it is awful broken distortet...

Not overclocked (!) everything default VGA (ps/2) version with audio via PWM @ GP6,GP7

Edit: forgot to mention it is running on the Pico2...

Peter,

I found another problem.
The firmware of the WebMite RP2350A no longer works after version:

Wow Peter, I can't imagine how much hard work this is to maintain all these versions. Thank you so much for all this effort! :)

There is only one codeset with a bunch of conditional compilation so building the versions isn't an issue. What I can't do when in beta is test all the versions each time so I rely on feedback to iron out the bugs. Most like the ones reported today are completely trivial so its not a big deal.

Thanks Peter.

List system I2C now also works and also my 4x20 display and RTC clock.
The audio works and with an Amplifier or Headphones or a Multi-point Bluetooth Transmitter I have excellent sound.
We still miss Play Stream support for the PCM5102A I2S with 3 pins, otherwise we would also have affordable Web Radio. It does work with a VS1053 which I have yet to try. But very satisfied with a module I still had and it costs 3 Euro in China.
I don't understand 'ON PWM CHANNEL 11 in the OPTION list?

Jan

Play stream can never work with I2S. It relies on the VS1053 doing the real-time mp3 decoding without any defining header. I2S uses a PWM channel as a timer. Since the RP2350A can't use PWM 11 for any of its pins it is a good choice.

OK,

That was a reserved destination in MOV in 2040 (probably planned for pindirs, but buggy).
Thanks, I learned something new...

Also the valid sources are: pinS, x, y, null, status, isr, OSR you can't use a number. That would be a SET command

NB: Away for the next few days so no updates

Hi Peter,

Just testing out the MP3 function on the RP2350Zero. In the manual it says - PLAY MP3 file$ [,interrupt] "..If file$ is a directory the Pico will play all of the files in that directory in turn."

If I try PLAY MP3 "dirname" it says "ERROR:Could not find the file".

If I then try PLAY MP3 "B:/dirname" it lists the directory and gives the error "ERROR:Display not configured".

PLAY NEXT says "ERROR:Nothing to play" or if a track is playing it says "Last track is playing", yet the manual says "..[PLAY NEXT] Stops playback of the currnt audio file and starts the next one in the directory.

Thanks.
