For i=1 To 40
print i, MM.Info(pin i)
Next

Polish it up, maybe use two columns, stick it in a Sub and put it in your library. :)

Edit. Peter, while testing the MM.Startup Sub at the bottom of this post on a Pico 2 V6.00.00RC8, after a CPU Restart the last value of "n" and the boot banner appear at the command prompt, requiring Crtl-C to prevent an error. What am I doing wrong?

Stan, paste the line below at the command prompt to see which pins are used.
Expanding Mick's idea:-

> For m=0 To 28 :n= MM.Info(pinno "GP"+Str$(m)):print n,"GP"+Str$(m), MM.Info(pin n) :next
1 GP0 INTL
2 GP1 DOUT
4 GP2 OFF

Or for the RP2350 include setting all unused pins to Din, PullUp.

Sub MM.Startup
Local Integer m, n
For m=0 To 28
n = MM.Info(pinno "GP"+Str$(m))
If MM.Info(pin n)="OFF" Then SetPin n, DIN, PULLUP
print n,"GP"+Str$(m), MM.Info(pin n)
Next
End Sub

Similar error as Phil noted on restart.
PicoRP2040 RC8 using TeraTerm (and MMCC)

After CPU RESTART, <enter> causes Unknown command.

> cpu restart

Error : Unknown command
>
> cpu restart

Error : Unknown command
>

Also,
I measured 16 seconds between 'disconnect' and Windows seeing the USB port again.

Footnote added 2024-10-14 16:07 by TassyJim
A hard reboot of my PC resolved the long time to restore the serial port.
That is not something I have seen before!

The 'Error: unknown command' issue is still present.

Jim I just loaded in RC8 as I noticed I was using b4

PicoMite MMBasic Version 6.00.00RC8
> cpu restart

Disconnected

14:14:44 Port: COM15 inserted

Connected to COM15 at 38400

Thank you, the banner at the command prompt is fixed.
MM.Startup still leaves the last value of a variable at the command prompt so still requires Ctrl-C to get a new prompt. If I backspace the characters the prompt disappears but then typing a command such as Print works.

My setup was working OK after loading the firmware, but then all of a sudden I noticed CLS RGB(green) and CLS RGB(red) working in reverse (cls...blue is working fine).
This has also resulted in the EDITor (with COLOURCODE ON) effectively showing incorrect colours by switching these two primary colours around.

All I was doing was altering the OPTIOON RESOLUTION between 640, 1024, and 1280 (the two 4:3 formats work with my monitor, but the 1280 widescreen won't sync). So multiple switching between these, and trying different MODEs in each somehow resulted in the Red and Green signals switching.

Am I missing a command somewhere to possibly reset colour mappings? I have tried all the obvious resetting, powering down, etc, but before reloading firmware, wondered if I have missed something simple!!

I don't know if it's come up, but is option keyboard uk broken? US and UK seem to be the same. This is on 6.00.00.RC3 - I've not got around to updating yet.
