Hi, Maybe I missed it, Is there a way to output text only through the terminal? It would be helpful for debugging to send values of variables to the terminal during the program without it appearing on the VGA screen. Cheers Mart!n Edit Appendix A describes how this would work via Com1 and 2. Can I also use the serial connection which I have already established via usb anyway? Edited 2023-03-29 23:30 by Martin H.

If you are using the VGA as a graphic display then using PRINT won't display on it, but it will display on the console. Likewise TEXT will display on the graphic screen but not on the console. The console can be redirected to a COM port but it doesn't need to be. It's USB by default, of course. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Use OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE in your program. Then all graphics commands will still work on the screen and print statements will only go to the terminal |
