Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : PicoMiteVGA: Print only to USB console?

My searching is proving fruitless so far. Is there a way to send print statements out the USB console only and not to the VGA screen? The command OPTION CONSOLE SERIAL works for MMB4W, but not for the PicoMiteVGA. Print #0, something sends the output to both the console and the VGA screen. OPTION SERIAL CONSOLE pinA, pinB, B maybe needs 2 free pins for an unused serial port? Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs. |

From what I can find, this is not possible. I guess this cos with the VGA-mite, the assumption is that you will be using the VGA screen as the console, and disabling the VGA output of the console would seem to be counter-productive for the VGA port. I might be totally wrong. There might be a way to do it, I just have not found it same as you. If Peter reads this thread, I am sure he will comment if I am totally off my rocker.

Just to be clear, I still want the VGA showing stuff. TEXT commands appear on screen as desired. Think of it as sending debugging messages out the USB port. Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs. |

If you are running a program on a PicoMite VGA and you put a PRINT statement in it that will go to the console on the USB, won't it? If you are at the command line the VGA console and the USB console display the same output. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE turns off all console output to the screen and leaves it like a LCD display that responds to graphics commands only (including TEXT) |

btw: also TEXT Command is working on the VGA Screen, If you put the option at the start of your Programm, it is just while the Program is running. https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=15193&PID=192356#192356 Edited 2023-11-25 22:36 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Thank you, OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE is exactly what I was looking for, does exactly what I want. And it's written right in the manual in plain sight. Doh. Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs. |

Hi VegiPete, All, I am not a very good programmer but I would never look for an LCDPANEL command, to be supported, if I was using the VGA version of MMBASIC. That’s interesting, Regards, Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |
