I'm looking at combining the uMite with a Propeller. I'd like to have the ability to store more than one single program on the uMite side without having to transfer it to/from the Propeller. (I can do this, but I'd like to it's cogs for other more interesting items.) Are there some storage options we could take advantage on the uMite side for storing multiple programs? Thanks Jeff My Propeller/Micromite mini-computer project. |

Not natively, as I understand it, but you could always add the likes of an ALFAT filesystem module, but not sure how you would go about loading different programs. If you need filesystem and different program support, have you considered using one of the cut-down Maximite units?(such as the MiniMite) You could then load different programs anytime you like with the MM's built-in SD card support, and load and save data to your hearts content. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

I fully agree with Grogster - use a MaxiMite variant assuming you have no problems in doing so. Like he says, it is already set up for uSD storage and multiple file access. If you are after certain commands that are built into the MicroMite but are not included in the MaxiMite variant then you have two choices: 1> Wait for Geoff to update the MaxiMites with the MicroMite features (he has indicated that this will be done - just not for a few months!) 2> Write the function(s) you require in MMBasic for the MaxiMite. Most features are easy to write as a function - post any issues you have here on the forum and I'm sure members will be willing to help you out. I think option 2 above is far easier than writing multiple file access / SD storage functions on the MicroMite. Only you know if Option 2 meets your requirements - do let us know . . . .
