 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. |

LOL, my tests only cover some subset of the intersection of MMB4L behaviour and PicoMite behaviour. Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

I think this may refer to bookmarks at the third level. PWM is OK in Picomite but is a duplicate bookmark in PicomiteVGA and WebMite. In a number of places the bookmarks created under the details subsection contain extra text or copies of the key words. i.e. for Picomite. OPTIONS OPTION SYSTEM I2C Commands CTRLVAL (extra blank entry) LIBRARY (or included as bookmark) LINE (AA ?) MEMORY PACK MEMORY UNPACK SYNC Late inclusion for Tom is missing. MM.INFO$(LINE) returns the current line number as a string. LIBRARY returned if in the Library and UNKNOWN if not in a program. Assists in diagnostics while unit testing. Latest F4 Latest H7 |

Marvellous work Peter and Geoff. "BASIC" is starting to be a misnomer. V5.07.07 is way above being basic. Also I think we now need a member title one step above Guru. I'd like to propose *** PICOPATH *** . |

Having some problems with SD cards and BMP files on this release. Load Image from B: starts then fails and disconnects the drive. Eg > B: > load image "Square.bmp" Warning: SDcard Removed > Error : The file/directory object is invalid > When I tried Save Image to B: it bricked the card. No longer recognized by any OS. SD card repair software can't see it either. Reverted to RC8 and remaining cards all work ok. Re-installed latest firmware and problems return. |

If you have any issues to report then as a minimum post the results of OPTION LIST or I will ignore them |

I think I found an interesting behaviour between SPRITE WRITE and SPRITE SHOW wrt the 'mode' and 'options' parameters. They seem to have the opposite behaviour for handling transparency. For SPRITE WRITE, the 'mode' needs to be set to 4 for black to be output. For SPRITE SHOW, 'options' needs to be 0 for black to be output. Not sure if this was intentional and I just have misinterpreted the meaning of the arguments. I thought that they were going to behave the same. No issue for now. I know how to get black in my sprites and I'm happy.  Hawk |

I've been going through Geoff's superb manual, testing out commands that I haven't seen or tried before. Here's a curiosity: ... Option Angle Degrees Print "After OPTION ANGLE DEGREES MM.INFO Says Option Angle is " MM.Info(OPTION ANGLE) Option Angle Radians Print "After OPTION ANGLE RADIANS MM.INFO Says Option Angle is " MM.Info(OPTION ANGLE) ... and when run, this yields what seems to me to be incorrect results: > run After OPTION ANGLE DEGREES MM.INFO Says Option Angle is 4 After OPTION ANGLE RADIANS MM.INFO Says Option Angle is 4 Per Peter's request for current options, here's mine (slightly redacted): > option list WebMite MMBasic Version 5.07.07 OPTION COLOURCODE ON OPTION POWER PWM ON OPTION HEARTBEAT OFF OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 200000 OPTION DISPLAY 60, 132 OPTION WIFI xxxxxxxxxxxx, *************** OPTION TCP SERVER PORT 80 OPTION TELNET CONSOLE ON Live in the Future. It's Just Starting Now! |

It is OK, I have found the duplicates that you mentioned (in the two manuals except the PicoMite). Thanks for the heads up. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Can't replicate the issue. Suggest you clear the flash and re-load. Also please try without the backlight pin and see if any difference Thanks for the report. I've added it to the known bugs list |

I have not been able to make WebMite connect to an open (unprotected - no password required) hotspot. It is documented (manual) that it can not. Just a question: Is this on purpose ? Volhout Edited 2023-05-07 20:33 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Just the way I've coded it. I could allow a blank password in a future release but as of now the WebMite can't connect to an open network |

Don't bother. I have set up my access point with dual ssid's. One open for guests, and one secure. My primary tests always are on the guest account. But once I realized webmite did mot connect, it was moved to the secure account. But since I have no idea how secure webmite is, I will try to setup a 3rd ssid, special for webmite. Want to keep my main wifi secure as possible. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Perhaps give the guest account a simple password like 'guest', 'wifi' or 'password'. |

This has kept me off the streets for a while. Peter couldn't replicate it and no one else was complaining so it had to be a hardware problem that just happened during 'update firmware'. A weird fault in sharing SPI, the display corrupts SD access and SD disables touch. All wiring tested (repeatedly), ILI9488 replaced with ILI9341, SPI pins changed, even moved System SPI to SPI2. re-flashed with various RCs but no change. Only got it working with System SPI on SPI1 for the display and touch with SD on SPI2. Could a corrupt download have caused this? It is a remarkable coincidence if the appearance of the fault is unrelated to it. |

Phile Try this - identical to the release PicoMite.zip The other thing that can cause the problem you are seeing is a flakey power supply cable. There is also an issue with some of the Pico clones where the onboard regulator hasn't got enough umph for the LED backlight and the SDcard. Do you have the filter on the sdcard power (2.2ohm resistor and 10uF across the sdcard)? |

Did you try nukeing the flash and trying again from scratch with a new download? Have you tried reverting to an earlier version? A firmware error of just one bit can cause all sorts of problems. It doesn't have to be hardware. OTOH you may have a faulty GPIO register on your Pico or the output drivers can no longer source enough current. Or your power supply may be sagging because there's too much resistance in your USB lead. I hate this sort of problem. :( Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Hi Phil, I saw the pluriel "cards". Assume you have tested different. Asking because I had one card that got corrupted. I opened one-for-one every single file on that card until I found the one that caused the problem. Killed the corrupt file with pico (my PC could not delete the file) and from that moment on the card worked in both pico and PC. I will try with the release 50707 tonight and see if I can duplicate. Assume this is pico (not picoVGA). Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

With MMBASIC + *Mite families, + some external hardware, I feel like I have everything I ever wanted :) Recently, I was writing some small tools for the old good ZX spectrum in MMB4W and I felt something hardly achieved these days: happiness. I'm so curious to try WebMite. Thank you, guys, for all the good you are doing and sharing. |
