Attached is the first draft of a manual updated with the V6.01.00 changes and any comments I have picked up off the various threads. I've now passed it over to Geoff to fix things like the formatting and index/contents prior to the release.
Please post on this thread any comments (not about the index/contents unless they also apply to the current manual)

PicoMite 6.01.00 draft manual.pdf

Harm, please could you check the PIO appendix and let us have any comments. Also, please could you let Geoff have a source file for your nice PIO usage table (which versions use what PIO channels)

Gerry, I've updated the regex appendix from your PDF. Please could you check it and also let us have any additional comments/additions

Hi Peter,
thanks for your work. A few minor typos.
p92:

should be:


p105


p120


p157
Not a "VS1053 specific PLAY command":


Slipped out of place (POKE or POKE BYTE):
p157 (again)



Kind regards
Michael

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your work.

Perhaps a more recent photo of the editor?

Page 164, small addition.
90° servo: 0 = 0° and 90 =  90°
180° servo: 0 = 0° and 90 = 180°
Note: With values ​​< 0 or > 90, the current may increase when the servo reaches its end position.

360° servo: Speed ​​50 = Stop, Left = L->H:51-100, Right = L->H:49-0.

Page 221 Appendix H
FILL PATTERN pattern (FP) - Set fill pattern (0-7)

Should be:
FILL PATTERN pattern (FP) - Set fill pattern (0-31)

It would also be clearer if Turtle were used before each command?

Kind regards,
Jan.

Not related to the new features but perhaps an update for the ILI9488 MISO fix .

In this thread about "OPTION FNKey string$" there are some useful points shown by Disco4now and TassyJim.
Setting string$ to "" erases the saved function and restores the original function of the key.

These PEEK functions should not have the comma.

PEEK(BP, n%) should be PEEK(BP n%)
PEEK(SP, n%) should be PEEK(SP n%)
PEEK(WP, n%) should be PEEK(WP n%)

The contents list still needs to be updated.

Appendix A – Serial Communications ................................................................................ 200
Appendix B – I2C Communications .................................................................................... 202
Appendix C – 1-Wire Communications ............................................................................... 205
Appendix D – SPI Communications .................................................................................... 206
Appendix E – Regex Syntax ............................................................................................... 208
Appendix F – The PIO Programming Package ................................................................... 210
Appendix G – Sprites.......................................................................................................... 219
Appendix H – Special Keyboard Keys ................................................................................ 221

Kind regards,
Jan.

What is wrong with contents list?

Geoff

Peter, you have a PM.

Volhout

Geoff,

In the function list, PIO(SHIFTCTRL ) shows 8 parameters. Missing are parameter 9 (joinrxfifoget) and 10 (jointxfifoput).


Please find attached PIO usage overview.
Peter, does the RP2350 PIO usage change between VGA121 and VGA222, or is it always using 2 PIO's ? Below table is "before VGA RGB222".

VGA222 can be ignored in your table. It is a specific driver for the PICOMITE/ PTOCOMITEUSB RP2350 and the PIO are only grabbed if it is invoked. There is no change for the ordinary VGA versions

on page 58 to

OPTION LCDPANEL SSD1306I2C, OR [,offset]

the following should be added:

SSD1306I2C also works with SSD1315 and SH1106 controllers.

on page 62 to

Touch Support
Many LCD panels are supplied with a resistive touch sensitive panel and associated controller chip. MMBasic
fully supports this interface and this allows many of the physical knobs and switches used in a project to be
implemented as on-screen controls activated by touch.

the following should be added:

As an alternative to resistive touch MMBasic also supports capacitve touch based on the FT6336 controller.

Hi Geoff,

Typo : the "a,b,v,d" should be "a,b,c,d"



Volhout

Page 115 Length parameter use in non-array strings.
I note the new information, but the following has been left behind, unless it is still relevant to non Pico versions of MMBasic? in which case it should probably mention that.
"This keyword can also be used with
non-array string variables but it will not save any memory."

Peter,

Returned the updated manual to you on Email.

Volhout

Many thanks - forwarded to Geoff to incorporate
