Hello Peter! This is more than we ever need really! Congrats! One very small thing I found earlier. If I use OPTION ANGLE DEGREES from command line the angles are still staying in radians. (And I think opposite.) From a program when run it switches. G@bor |

I’ve been thinking about how to simplify the process of entering a pair of brackets: OPTION F8 "()"+chr$(130) Pressing F8 would display a bracket pair, and chr$(130)=<cursor-left> would immediately position the cursor 1 back between ( and ). In insert mode, you could then simply continue typing, and the closing bracket would be moved further to the right. This would reduce the amount of typing required, and the closing bracket wouldn't be missing later!  It would be fantastic, of course, to have a dedicated hotkey for this. I initially thought of <alt>+<(>, but the problem is that the opening bracket is located above the 8 key on German keyboards and above the 9 key on US keyboards.  Could be also very useful during writing programs in the editor!  Perhaps, you have a better idea?  Edited 2026-05-09 05:12 by bfwolf |

PicoMiteHDMI MMBasic RP2350A Edition V6.03.00RC6 OPTION FLASH SIZE 4194304 OPTION COLOURCODE ON OPTION KEYBOARD GR OPTION RESOLUTION 640x480 @ 252000KHz OPTION SDCARD GP5, GP2, GP3, GP4 OPTION PLATFORM FM200 @Peter: Is the word "pos" now forbidden within a string? CLS Print " pos Offset " End Result: ~(W) Offset "pos" becomes "POS" in the program code. Second question: Is it intentional (or necessary) that "Option KEYBOARD repeat" can no longer be used within programs? Regards Michael causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

Where is the help file available? |

| JanVolk Guru Joined: 28/01/2023 Location: NetherlandsPosts: 349 |
toml_12953, Because my English isn't very good, I use Google Translate a lot. The help serves as a memory aid for the many commands and functions that have additional features and works faster than the manual. I have also added some explanations for many commands and functions, but that is all in Dutch. I have converted the CALC help to English for the question. I have placed the list commands and list functions one below the other and filled in the additional commands using the manual with MM Edit4 or 5 or Notepad++, and can simply send this file to the microcontroller. In Notepad++, you can color commands, functions, comments, and numbers so that it works exactly the same way as in EDIT. I can then regularly add comments to the commands and functions from a central location. I have also taken into account the 79 characters per line and ensure that the help.txt does not become too large, which is already 68k. So if you want it, you will have to convert the comment yourself, or you can of course delete it too. Jan. |

G'day Peter, Many thanks for the immediate calculator function, using it already  A couple of questions: Is the Stepper system now in a state to be ready to test? hoping I might have a couple of days to do some testing all going well. In Touch.c / Touch.h, there is a section for the GT911 cap touch driver, is this implemented? I am interested in trying a 5" screen with this chip. Regards, Lyle. |

I've translated Jan's file from his recent post from Dutch into English with the help of Google translate and some handwork and I think it was worth the while. It is for V6.02.00 but could serve well as a basis for further extension. Thank you Jan!! help.txt-V6.02.00-en.zip Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Peter! I have a problem. It also occured in previous versions with Pico 2W and now Pimoroni Pico Plus 2W also: Sometimes (I think every 10-15 ocassions after run program) the following is occuring: I open a TCP client with WEB open TCP client command and send a TCP request. And the system is extremely slowing down. I don’t know if the port open or the request causes this. The only way to solve it to restart Picocalc with power button. Webmite versions, Picocalc. Thanks!

Lyle Stepper code is fully working AFAIK. G@bor Please explain how I am supposed to fix something so ill defined. If you post a program that demonstrates the problem I might have a chance but without that.... Edited 2026-05-12 01:48 by matherp |

Okay Peter! That is right I will investigate deeply and try to make a test program for you. G@bor |

G@bor I've found a couple of places where normal web type errors could cause memory corruption by trying to raise MMbasic errors in callbacks. Try this version and let me know if it makes any difference. You may see normal MMbasic errors where previously the code might have locked up. PicoMite.zip |

A program that was working just a short while ago no longer works with version PicoMiteRP2350V6.03.00RC6 on PicoCalc. I won't be able to send the exact error message until tonight - I think it was this line that caused the error: sx1(i)=rnd()*W: sy1(i)=rnd()*H This line is located in a SUB, where the variables were defined locally:W=320:H=320 local sx1(32),sy1(32),sx2(24),sy2(24) I won't be able to give you any more details until tonight, since I don't have the PicoCalc with me right now...

Experiment that went wrong, Use rnd without the brackets and I'll fix in the next RC |
