 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. |
Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Fast pulses using MM/DMBasic

There seems to be a lot of people wanting to send fast pulses to devices using the `mite but there are obvious limitations to the capability to do this in an interpretive basic. Now We have a video signal that is generated to drive VGA displays (using DMA??)... if MM/DMBasic was able to change `video' settings (to obvious out of range for display) to be able to be `infinitly' `adjustable' could we then create rapid pulses (when required) by using the Video output of the `mite this could be created by setting or clearing the required `pixels' to create the said pulse... I am not a programmer, in fact I would say I am not a programmers @$$hole but some would disagree with me and say yes I am.. So I do not know how feasible this would be or not, just a glimmer of an idea and maybe someone smarter than me can see an oportunity here... Maybe it should be setup as an `on call' rapid bit stream that can be called when required.. Someting like VID_DISABLE ' stop the Video connector being used for VGA Pulse_out xxx,yyy ' not sure of best format but setup a stream of pulses to be sent using this mode Of course Video out would be compromised by doing this but we would still have USB console mode. Am I crazy, well we all know I am but is it a possibility without too much alteration to the `mite firmware. Regards, Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |
