 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. |

Good idea, though I wonder if the name of the option should have "String" in it, perhaps STRINGESCAPE ? Would I be correct in assuming strings to "file functions" will not be parsed for escapes irrespective of the option, or have you changed your mind on this?

File functions automatically convert \ to / so are not affected. The reason for the change is: a$=fname$ open a$ for input... This can't be easily be trapped because the parsing of the escape sequence happens when fname$ is parsed |

V5.07.07b28 https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Enhancements to PLAY SOUND to remove clicks and pops Implements OPTION ESCAPE. This enables escape sequences in strings and must be used in any program where you want to use them. You will be able to also use it at the command prompt but like OPTION EXPLICIT it will be disabled again by the RUN command and so will need to be included in the program. This change will ensure that the new functionality won't break any existing programs. Fixes bug introduced in an earlier beta in OPTION LCDPANEL SSD1963_n PIO ASSEMBLE now accepts &B, &O, and &H for numeric values Edited 2023-03-21 20:34 by matherp |

Thanks Peter, VGA50707b28 Using Tom's Entertainer.bas as a test platform, I can confirm that on PicoMiteVGA, the clicking has been minimized. The entertainer.bas program plays the song "the entertainer" while showing all the notes it plays on the VGA screen, as a list of frequency values. As is, at 252MHz there was no clicking audible. At 126MHz the clicking was more of a "sssht" sound. It appreas to be caused by scrolling of the text on the VGA screen. When I removed the "print" statements, even at 126MHz there was no clicking audible. Thanks for adding &b and &h for the numerics in the PIO assembler. I probably won't ever use the &O.... but I understand it comes as part of the package... You aslo fixed the MOV instruction. Volhout EDIT: noticed PicoMite erases options set, PicoMiteVGA does not erase options set. Could be conincidence. Edited 2023-03-21 23:30 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

@matherp PicoMiteVGA MMBasic Version 5.07.07b28 One way the console line editor oddness issue can be created is re-flashing while:- OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE OPTION DISPLAY 55, 132 have previously been set. OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE fixes it then with OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE it stays fixed. Edited 2023-03-22 17:40 by phil99 |

@Peter, Can you please explain what the ".line" prefix does in PIO ASSEMBLE ? This is V50707b28 PicoMite (non VGA). The default I use is ".line 0" so the assembly starts at addess 0 in PIO memory. PIO assemble 1,".program hi" PIO assemble 1,".line 0" PIO assemble 1,"mov x,osr" PIO assemble 1,"set pins,&h3" PIO assemble 1,"push noblock" PIO assemble 1,".end program list" Outputs > RUN 0: A027 1: E003 2: 8020 But when I want to assemble the code starting at address 2 in memory, I would expect the prefix needed is ".line 2" PIO assemble 1,".program hi" PIO assemble 1,".line 2" PIO assemble 1,"mov x,osr" PIO assemble 1,"set pins,&h3" PIO assemble 1,"push noblock" PIO assemble 1,".end program list" The output is > RUN 2: A027 In other words, it starts at address 2, but it only assembles 1 line of code (the MOV x,osr), and does not asseble the other 2 lines. I guess I am not clear on what the ".line x" should do... Volhout Edited 2023-03-22 19:16 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Every keyboard uses GP8 and GP9 - these are fixed. The firmware is doing exactly what it should. See manual, special device support, ps2 keyboard |

Sorry you were too quick! I deleted it. I just realised that the option KEYBOARD is only for a PS2 keyboard, not a USB keyboard, through a terminal. Sorry! |

@Peter, There is one thing annoying with the library function. Whenever you save to library, or delete the library, the current program is also erased. Seen on V50707b30 picomite (non-VGA). Is that unavoidable ? Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Saving to the library by definition clears the current program because it copies the current program to the library. Otherwise you would end up with multiple identical functions with the same name. This is exactly how the MM2 works. Delete I haven't checked the MM2 but perhaps Gerry can comment |

V5.07.07b31 / WEB V5.07.07b1 https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip Support for micro I2C keyboard Set OPTION SYSTEM I2C if not already set Connect the keyboard to the system I2C pins Then set OPTION KEYBOARD I2C Keys along the top are programmed as ESC, F1, F2, F3, CTRL To use the editor see the manual for the control keys that are used for forward, backwards, up, down, F4, F5, etc.  The keyboard is fully functional if a little small. Key repeat is not implemented and won't be. KeyDown, KeyUp codes could be made available if a real program was written to require them. The keyboard can be used on any of the PicoMite variants |

I thought something like this was happening in the background. But why erase when you LIBRARY DELETE ? I assume that is a side effect. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |
