If you read my post, that is what I tested - I just used a VGA board to ensure I had a known good PS2 connection. I enabled the SSD1963 driver to confirm there is no firmware issue. Makes no difference that there wasn't a display connected, the firmware can't tell

Firmware V5.09.00 release candidate RC3 is now available for download from

Still unable to get Option Keyboard to work with the standard PM. PS/2 Kb is on GP8 & 9.
To check that the hardware is ok re-flashed with VGA firmware and it works.
Re-installed standard firmware and Option Keyboard doesn't stick. Just vanishes.

Stanley,

Did you type in the options after a blank install? Or did you restore them from a file ?

I can confirm that OPTION KEYBOARD US disappears when issued in the PicoMite (non USB, non VGA) V5.09.00RC3

This is different from V5.08.00

Fixed if you re-download

I copied them from a usb non vga txt file into mmcc console and each reset and restarted pico. there were no options in option list after flashing 09.rc3 so started from nothing.

warum?
I could have copied from the manual, you still have to copy each option into a console,
I just keep device options in a txt file

The version of PicoMiteVGA 5.09.00RC3 that I compiled from source code goes into reboot when I try to save the screen image.
> SAVE IMAGE "screen1"
Error: Invalid address - resetting

The same thing happened again with the PicoMiteVGAV5.09.00RC3.uf2 firmware from the PicoMite_Beta.zip archive downloaded from the site.
On firmware PicoMiteVGAUSBV5.09.00RC3.uf2 from the same archive it works fine.

Hi Peter,
I have just installed RC3 and I have a new feature, which was not present on previous RCs. When I plug in a wireless keyboard, which has never had a mouse. I get:-
> UK USB Keyboard Connected on channel 1
> USB Mouse Connected on channel 2
and when I disconnect I get.
> USB Keyboard Disconnected
> USB Mouse Disconnected
I tried a different, wired keyboard and got.
> UK USB Keyboard Connected on channel 1
> Generic Gamepad Connected on channel 2
> USB Keyboard Disconnected
> Generic Gamepad Disconnected
Previously both these keyboards have only reported as a keyboard.
However another, Dell, keyboard, reports as only a keyboard, just fine.
This is my setup.
PicoMite MMBasic USB Edition  5.09.00RC3
OPTION SERIAL CONSOLE COM2,GP8,GP9
OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP18,GP19,GP16
OPTION COLOURCODE ON
OPTION KEYBOARD UK
OPTION PICO OFF
OPTION CPUSPEED  252000 'KHz
OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE 7,,,,NOSCROLL
OPTION DISPLAY 40, 80
OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9481, LANDSCAPE,GP15,GP14,GP13
OPTION TOUCH GP12,GP11
GUI CALIBRATE 0, 3963, 237, -1299, 875
OPTION SDCARD GP22
OPTION KEYBOARD REPEAT 150,80
OPTION DEFAULT FONT 7, 1

I have been using your new LCD320 option and that is working great, is there a way of automating switching back to full screen, if I break out of a program ^C, so that the full screen editor is full screen, without manually typing 'Option LCD320 OFF' presumably I could program a function key, maybe I can do that and run the editor all from one key, I will look at that.

Regards, Kevin.

This means the keyboard presumably has the option of a connected mouse. I've got a keyboard that does this and has a joystick that now works properly as a mouse. You are now seeing it because I have improved the enumeration process.

After a lot of diagnostic messing around I've found the issue. The statement that was causing the problem was

       mergedread=1;


WTF

Eventually I found that I had defined mergedread in Draw.c as


   bool mergedread=false;



However, In FileIO.c I'd referenced it as

extern int mergedread;


The compiler had allowed this which has to be a bug (in the compiler as well as my code) and by writing to the integer the statement was either overwriting a very important variable or writing to an integer on a byte boundary. Don't know how long this has been in there.

I've updated RC3 with the fix if you re-download

Hi All;

I posted this problem during the 5.09Beta posts for the WebMite and it was suggested that I re download the firmware again. I have been doing this for every update till now RC3 and still have the same problem.

This worked under 5.08;


These are the current options under 5.09RC3;


The program error message;


The program code;

Dim buff%(4096/8)
Dim string mystring,mytime,currentversion

currentversion = Str$(MM.Info(version))

mystring = "THIS IS A MESSAGE AREA"

WEB TCP INTERRUPT WebInterrupt

 Do
   '<do some processing here>'
   mytime = DateTime$(now)
 Loop

Sub WebInterrupt
 Local a%, p%, t%, s$

 For a% = 1 To MM.Info(MAX CONNECTIONS)
   WEB TCP READ a%, buff%()
   p% = LInStr(buff%(),"GET")
   t% = LInStr(buff%(),"HTTP")

   If (p% <> 0) And (t% > p%) Then
     WEB TRANSMIT PAGE a%,"B:/test.html"
   EndIf

 Next a%

End Sub


It is the same code as in the 5.08 manual with the addition of variables.

The HTML;

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>This Is A Test Page</h2>

<p>{mystring}</p>

<p>Time: {mytime}</p>

<p>MMBasic Version: {currentversion}</p>

</body>
</html>


I must have looked at this a million times and don't see the problem.
Any ideas?

Hans ...

Hans,
I don't think there is anything wrong with your code.
If you change the / to \ in the filename you don't get the error but no page is sent.

The browser gets a 404 instead of the requested page.

I haven't had a chance to do a full test but there is definitely something astray.
