 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Since this is a forum. Would you lot be intersested in telling us all what projects you are all making and in what prog language and with what microcontrollers etc |

IMO it's not an unreasonable question to be asked occasionally (last time), not everyone is constantly banging their own drum  .Still working on adding graphics support and CMM2/PicoMiteVGA/GameMite support to MMB4L. Got bogged down with sprite support for a while but moving forward again now Best wishes, Tom Edited 2024-06-10 23:43 by thwill Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

I'm working on a game called Knightmare. I slowed down the dev in this last month due to life problems. I'm finishing the level 7 of 8 levels. Check it here |

Part way through yet another hardware design, built on four modular PCBs that fit together in the same cheap aluminium case. The modules used depend on the configuration required. Some link via GP pins, others link via multi-drop RS232. I don't know if anything will come of it at this stage, but it's fun for me. :) It's sort of an industrial system rather than a gaming one.

Trying to get AS7262 working when it arrives from ae with converting great cow basic code to mmbasic. A working gcbasic example with large include file,in basic. nice project with 6 channel light spectrum output data. basic is not easy to convert imho, I will probably need help. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/588/AS7262_DS000486_2-00-1082195.pdf Edited 2024-06-11 08:13 by stanleyella |

Just finished a door reminder to utes. Head unit is Picomite with 5" touchscreen. This displays photos of the 8 doors of the ute that go red when a door is open. Base unit is micromite with a MP3 player that says rude messages if you try to drive while a door is open. Also a Relay board controller. Head unit is a MM+ with a 9" touchscreen. Buttons are displayed using images so the interface looks really slick. Base unit is a micromite with 16 relay board. Currently working on a linear motor design for T-gauge (1:480) model railway or possibly an ice-skating rink model. This has 66 electro-magnets wired in 3 phases allowing permanent magnets to move along the course. Also working on a weighbridge model with load cell, traffic lights and boom gates. This is being done at HO scale (1:87) so the boom gates are challenging. At 1:50 I could get away with a micro-servo. This will be done on a Picomite so it can hook into .Net Core Web API endpoints. |

Check out the ACTIVE TOPICS forum - this is where pretty much anything currently going on, gets posted.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

By the way Grogster what ever happened to your lift project. That was interesting. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

nice device. Doesn't look hard to interface. What platform are you using on the 'Mite end? I notice the internal floating point registers are directly compatible with IEEE754 (Micromite Single precision)... you might have your work cut out converting from that to the double precision of the bigger platforms. There are much better brains than mine here who can possibly comment on that and maybe provide code, although I can't think of a use-case from the past - most (all?) use whatever resolution is in the platform - there is only a single FLOAT datatype in MMBasic which is either single precision on the earlier and smaller mites, or double on the bigger and later. Happy to be proved wrong. A quick look at stack exchange provides an answer, but it (to me at any rate) is just as cryptic as the FP format. Might be a candidate for Pete Mather if he is bored to add MATH(CDBL()), and logically MATH(CSNG()). My ignorance shows in that it may already exist - I haven't kept up with PicoMite changes (mainly driving this). Edited 2024-06-11 19:00 by CaptainBoing |

hi. I'm using picomite. the greatcowbasic code uses integers but has a float fudge. there's a demo and the driver include library all commented. gcb code as726xinclude.zip as762-gcb.zip |

It got stuck half-way up the shaft! Seriously though, it got put on the back-burner, as I have too much other stuff to do that is work-related. The model lift was/is a project that I can work on, only when I have nothing else to do. It seemed like a reasonably easy thing to build, but there is much more to it then I thought!

A kick-butt multi-axis (up to 128) closed-loop motion controller using only the PicoMite, MMBasic + PIO code.  |

This is like a Google Calendar but: - short audio description tagged to each event, DF1101s record and playback with its own file system - has loud siren. - has repeater in the workshop which can cancel the event or just the alarm. - upcoming events shown colour coded, red within 12 hrs, yellow within 3 days etc - RTCC has supercap - MMbasic on clone Picomite - events can be absolute (12:34 15 July 24) or relative (1 day and 4 hours), recurring, etc - ILI9341 touch screen, uses MM advanced gui functionality 90% complete Martin  |

Just created in Micropython on a Pi Pico using a 2.42" SSD1309 Display A one Channel VU Meter And it was created using the SSD1306 in SPI mode (wanted to do this in MMbasic but was told that no driver available and that the SSD1306 would not work.)  |

Some guy claimed that uPython was way faster than PicoBasic. Is this true? No intention of switching but I have applications where the Pico would be a peripheral device and the more speed, the better. |

Hi PhenixRising I haven't done a comparison but if you would like to let me a PicoBasic test file then I will convert to uPython and do a comparison test between the two |
