 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. |

A possibility to set a long list of options in one go from a file in A: after updating the firmware? |

yes cos repeated updates options gets tedious. I copied to notepad not moaning, brill work, just can't keep up, stan Edited 2023-11-15 05:17 by stanleyella |

These new graphing functions will help a lot with my current projects. Now we 'need' a fast SAVE GIF so that all these nice charts can get served up on web pages with nice compact files. MP charts are too slow for changing data. It's a pity that PCX files are out of fashion, they are easier to produce in Basic. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Thanks for all good news Peter!  Have just tested the new LINE PLOT and MATH(CROSSING) functions. Great. MATH(CROSSING array() [,level] [,direction] Thinking about possible oscilloscope applications: -level= trigger level -direction= trigger direction, UP/DOWN. When I run your example program, I believe that direction -1 means UP (and +1 is DOWN). If that is correctly understood, wouldn't be more logical to have +1 for UP  and -1 for down  ?Thanks again!

Is there a MATH function to count the number of times a particular value appears in an array? Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs. |

Is there a "slow Line" where xstart,ystart to xend,yend can be broken down to individual steps please? thinking of games. cheers stan. |

You have to think that the screen is upside down. i.e y=0 is at the top. This makes everything confusing. The code logic is that 1 is a rising edge of "real" data and -1 is a falling edge. A possibility to set a long list of options in one go from a file in A: after updating the firmware? Easy to do but remember there if the options are lost then there is a high likelyhood that the A: drive is also gone. You could save to the B: drive but then you would need to set enough options to read it first  Anything with +/- 5 is good enough for a stylus and +/- more than that for a finger Now we 'need' a fast SAVE GIF SAVE IMAGE COMPRESSED creates small files albeit with only 16 colours Is there a MATH function to count the number of times a particular value appears in an array? No: what is the use case? Edited 2023-11-15 08:46 by matherp |

True, but you could first load a config file via xmodem to A:, “execute” it there and have your settings back |

Just me being lazy. It's _not_ useful for something like counting zero crossings. Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs. |

Maybe config run ["filename.bas"] where "filename.bas" is just the output of config list saved in a simple file and transferred to the device by whatever means is convenient?Rebuilding the config is a pain after (some) firmware updates because the USB serial port drops for each one and I have to reconnect each time with a bunch of clicks.

What a wonderful first world problem to have! So many extra features in an already excellent platform. Copying and pasting from a saved Option List is so easy compared to the time Peter spent writing and compiling the code, an extra few moments isn't a such chore. Stan, you don't have to recalibrate touch every time. From your saved Option List include the previous calibration values and it's done. eg GUI CALIBRATE 0, 3820, 408, -1306, 946 |

Try this - picomite only for test PicoMite.zip OPTION DISK SAVE fname$ OPTION DISK LOAD fname$ if no extension specified defaults to ".opt" I've tested that the files transfer both ways successfully over XMODEM |

Peter, Don't release RC17 yet. I am investigating a problem with USB disconnect. When I run the robot game on VGA, and stop it the legal way (no CTRL-C), after some time USB disconnects and reconnects. This may not be visible in windows (TeraTerm will automatically reconnect) but it is a problem in Linux since the USB reconnects as a different port. I was wondering if it could be modbus sound play, but that is correctly stopped. The VGA does not use FRAMBUFFER MERGE so that is not causing it. There are no interrupts in the game. I do not enable or disable watchdog in the game. But I am not sure what does. It has some relation to the game itself, because when I run smaller test programs it does not happen. Anything I could do to diagnose ? Volhout EDIT: it is a full reboot that is happening, not only USB. Edited 2023-11-15 22:08 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Peter I have been trying my best to isolate the instability on the WEB response side of the Webmite. I have considered the following scenarios (where stable is running for over 7 days without a freeze or crash) 1. No WEB activity whatsoever, meaning nothing in or out on any port on the Webmite. Webmite stable. 2. Using WEB OPEN TCP CLIENT and WEB TCP CLIENT REQUEST commands on Port 502 to read multiple registers on a ModBus TCP server on a one minute poll only. WebMite stable. Irrespective of whether the ModBus TCP Server responds or not. 3. Using an .html file containing {JSON$} only, where the JSON$ is assembled by the program. No other port activity other than this port 80 request. External request done through a curl requesting the .html file on a one minute poll. Webmite responds using the WEB TRANSMIT Page a%, file$ command. Webmite unstable. Responds for about 24-36 hours and then freezes or crashes to the console. 4. Replaced {JSON$} .html file with a .html file written by the program to the A: drive, containing the contents of JSON$. External one minute poll using curl .html request. WebMite responds using the WEB TRANSMIT Page a%, file$ command. Webmite stable for 6 days and then froze and crashed 13 hours into day 7, cf Console output #1 and Wireshark output #1 below. So it would appear that there may be an issue with the embedded {variable} lookup of the WEB TRANSMIT FILE PAGE a%, file$. Avoiding the embedded {variable} appears to provide a more stable response. However at some point the WebInterruptService is unable to find the .html file, responds with 404 three times and then the WebMite errors to the console, cf Wireshark output #1. Hopefully this triggers some thoughts on where the instability might be. In order to maintain a consistent base for comparison I have stuck with RC5.

The WEB TRANSMIT Page a%, file$ command makes an assumption of how much space it needs to create the web page based on the size of the file. It then allows 4K on top of this. If you are creating pages where the size is bigger than this allowance it will overwrite data areas it shouldn't be touching. I try to avoid this by cutting the output if the page will exceed the limit but it may be this causes other issues. I did try to dynamically adjust the buffer but this made things much worse for reasons I simply don't understand so please check your code and see if it is possible you are exceeding this 4K + filesize limit. This has been an issue for Geoff in the past hence the 4K allowance. I will add a parameter to the WEB TRANSMIT PAGE command to allow the user to set the buffer size Edited 2023-11-16 01:52 by matherp |
