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.

Digital Outputs
All I/O pins can be configured as a digital output using the DOUT parameter to the SETPIN command. For
example:
SETPIN GP15, DOUT
This means that when an output pin is set to logic low it will pull its output to zero and when set high it will
pull its output to 3.3V. In MMBasic this is done with the PIN command. For example PIN(GP15) = 0
will set pin GP15 to low while PIN(GP15) = 1 will set it high.

Add:
If your target sensor or actuator requires a signal voltage of 5V, use a level converter.

Thanks Kevin, I don't have such a setup running at this time for testing.  Could you please post your working version here and I can simply copy and paste it into the manual.

Thanks to all concerned for the manual.
For people like me on the "fringe" or the "outer", it is helping tie a lot of things together as I read through it.

One question, why isn't there a date of publication in the manual along with the version number? The firmware etc Copyright details do give the year which is a start.  

Thanks again

MM.DEVICE$

I realize that the list of supported devices is getting quite long but I think it would be worthwhile if you listed the device names for each device or platform that this document covers.

Bill

PS Thankyou Volhout for the revised document it occurred to me too late that there may be revisions due to updated firmware.
Keep safe. Live long and prosper.

Good point thanks. There is not even a correct copyright statement.  Something to fix.

  Turbo46 said  I realize that the list of supported devices is getting quite long but I think it would be worthwhile if you listed the device names for each device or platform that this document covers.

I gave up on the original list because there were just too many versions.  However, as you said, listing the names for devices in this manual would be doable.  I will look at it.

Geoff,

OPTION RESET LIST

shows all the platforms supported by default in this particular version of the firmware. (But no details what they exactly are). The list is different per PicoMite uf2 file.

That's not what we need!
OPTION RESET LIST will list all available configurations.

I have given up on the MM.DEVICE$ list.  There are just too many and I will get some wrong.

Geoff: The MOUSE command is referenced in DEVICE MOUSE but doesn't exist. I've also added PS2 mouse support so I'll send you an email with the MOUSE command and an updated DEVICE(MOUSE ...) function. Won't be until tomorrow as dinner time now.

It would be even clearer if it was worded like this:

  Turbo46 said  Geoff,

Some time ago Volhout produced a document titled: "Graphics in the PicoMite VGA" with additions by Martin H. Peter was going to ask you to include it with the downloads but that has no happened.

  matherp said  This is really useful - many thanks. Once you've had a few days to take comments and make any changes I'll ask Geoff to include it in the download with the rest of the documentation


See

The file is attached.

[,INVERT Parameter for SPI Based LCD panels not documented.
page 35.
SPI Based Display Panels
(add this parameter description)
INVERT = Literal string indicating that the colours on the display should be inverted. Accepted for all SPI displays except the ST7920. SPI displays based on the same chip but from a different vendor may have the colours inverted (i.e. BLACK is WHITE). Adding this optional parameter will corrected the colours on those displays previously seen with this variation.

The option parameter should be shown for :
ILI9341,ILI9163,ILI9488,ILI9488W,ST7735,ST7735S,ST7735S_W,ST7789,ST789_135,ST7789_320

Editing The Command Line.
Geoff,
Not sure if you used the notes I sent you on the command line editor, but if you used any of it there is a change. Previously a right arrow would automatically turn on OVR mode.
This has now been removed in RC5.
So these corrections are applicable, all underlined text to be removed.

Right Arrow
Moves cursor one character right. OVR (Overwrite Mode) is turned on so any character type will overwrite the character at the the cursor position. Turns on edit mode so Up and Down arrows are disabled.


In commandline mode there is no indication on the VT100 whether you are in INS or OVR mode.
The INS key will toggle between OVR and INS but you don't have an indication of which mode you are in.
Using the arrow left/right keys, if your last key is arrow right you can assume OVR, if last key is arrow left you can assume INS. (arrow back 1 extra character and arrow forward 1 puts you on the character you want to overwrite in OVR mode.)
