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.

I can't figure out how "save jpg" works. No problem with "Save image".
> save image "test.bmp"
> save jpg "test.jpg"
Error : Expected a string

Have you seen my post about the still unsolved "MM.INFO(pinno GPn)"?

It does, just not for all pins. See example in my post yesterday.
s. manual p83:
MM.INFO(PINNO GPnn)
  Quote  Returns the physical pin number for a given GP number. GPnn can be an
unquoted string (GP01), a string literal(“GP01”) or a string variable. Ie,
A$=”GP01”: MM.INFO(PINNO A$)
.

@Peter
Isn't it unexpected that compressed files are larger than uncompressed files with identical image content?
  Quote  08:25 01-01-2024      38518  iter.bmp
10:07 01-01-2024      67564  iter1.bmp

Iter.bmp is the uncompressed file.
Iter1.bmp is the compressed file.

Which Pico version?
06:50 02-12-2024      38518  gui test lcdpanel.bmp
06:49 02-12-2024       9462  gui test lcdpanel Compressed.bmp
00:01 01-01-2000        896  RP2350 VGA 6.00.01RC4.opt

Edit.
I think the compression method is Run Length Encoding which could produce a larger file if there is too much detail. Good compression needs long "run lengths" with no change.

RP2350 HDMI 6.00.01RC4

That could be the reason. But at first glance it is unexpected. Maybe we are spoiled by zip and rar.

Yep, that is the problem, way too much detail.

That may indicate that there is indeed a non-printing "invalid" character in the command. Try typing the whole command line again, without cutting and pasting.

Peter,

Can you include CPUSPEED 25200 for OPTION RESET VGA design 2 ?
Could be both 2040 and 2350.
