I can't figure out how "save jpg" works. No problem with "Save image".

Error : Expected a string

Have you seen my post about the still unsolved "MM.INFO(pinno GPn)"?

I'm curious. What makes you think MM.INFO(PINNO GPn) should accept a string for GPn?

It does, just not for all pins. See example in my post yesterday.
s. manual p83:
MM.INFO(PINNO GPnn)

Quote Returns the physical pin number for a given GP number. GPnn can be an
unquoted string (GP01), a string literal(“GP01”) or a string variable. Ie,
A$=”GP01”: MM.INFO(PINNO A$)

.

It's just that I'd never attempted that. Thanks. :)

@Peter
Isn't it unexpected that compressed files are larger than uncompressed files with identical image content?

Quote 08:25 01-01-2024 38518 iter.bmp
10:07 01-01-2024 67564 iter1.bmp

Iter.bmp is the uncompressed file.
Iter1.bmp is the compressed file.

Which Pico version?

06:50 02-12-2024 38518 gui test lcdpanel.bmp
06:49 02-12-2024 9462 gui test lcdpanel Compressed.bmp
00:01 01-01-2000 896 RP2350 VGA 6.00.01RC4.opt

Edit.
I think the compression method is Run Length Encoding which could produce a larger file if there is too much detail. Good compression needs long "run lengths" with no change.

RP2350 HDMI 6.00.01RC4

phil99 said Good compression needs long "run lengths" with no change.

That could be the reason. But at first glance it is unexpected. Maybe we are spoiled by zip and rar.

That may indicate that there is indeed a non-printing "invalid" character in the command. Try typing the whole command line again, without cutting and pasting.

Peter,

Can you include CPUSPEED 25200 for OPTION RESET VGA design 2 ?
Could be both 2040 and 2350.
