I'm still trying to find access to the command line prompt from the program...  I came across an interesting behavior of the RUN command, if you execute it with a missing file name or an empty line, then the system freezes in anticipation..., you can exit from which by pressing Ctrl+C RUN RUN "" RUN "","cmdline" RUN ,"cmdline" Edited 2024-12-02 20:32 by javavi |

Hi I recently bought a Raspi Pico 2 W, I tried installing MMBasic on it, but it didn't work. Having just seen this thread I assume it's because I tried an MMBasic V5.x. I tried the Web version of the PicoMite firmware, and the primary basic version without the web functionality. As a test of the board, I successfully installed MicroPython. I also used the utility to reset the Flash memory to factory default, in case that was an issue. I'd be happy to have a play with V6.x, latest version and report back anything I notice - if it works on the Pico 2 W yet? I assume the links at the top of the this thread are for the latest version of firmware? I'm intending to connect the Pico to an LCD screen from Pi Hut (UK) - the Pack 2.8 version, where the Pico plugs into the back of the display. I've never tried any of this before, nor even played with a Pico. I did manage to get some boards fabricated, for a Maximite Colour 2, which I built and it worked brilliantly. Thanks and Kind Regards J |

Hi CtrlAltSocketPuppet, This is the latest RC4 The 2350 folder contains a Webmite version for Pico 2 I only hope you bought a Genuine Pico2W. There is (Aliexpress) also a ESP8266 equipped version that does not work on this firmware. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Volhout Thank you very much for your swift response. From the link you kindly provided I loaded this into my Pico 2 W: WebMiteRP2350V6.00.01RC4.uf2 It loads onto the Pico successfully, creates a com port on my PC, and the Pico responds to commands that I type. Thanks for the information about the AliExpress product. Thank you and kind regards J |

@Peter I've noticed a strange behavior: when I enter /* in edit mode and save, the '0' disappears if it is the first digit of the line. Other digits don't seem to be affected.0 */ But IMHO the bug isn't important. You should just know. Regards Michael EDIT: Of course the example above doesn't make sense. I noticed it when I wanted to note the colors in a program. /* 15 WHITE RGB(255, 255, 255) 14 YELLOW RGB(255, 255, 0) 13 LILAC RGB(255, 128, 255) 12 BROWN RGB(255, 128, 0) 11 FUCHSIA RGB(255, 64, 255) 10 RUST RGB(255, 64, 0) 9 MAGENTA RGB(255, 0, 255) 8 RED RGB(255, 0, 0) 7 CYAN RGB(0, 255, 255) 6 GREEN RGB(0, 255, 0) 5 CERULEAN RGB(0, 128, 255) 4 MIDGREEN RGB(0, 128, 0) 3 COBALT RGB(0, 64, 255) 2 MYRTLE RGB(0, 64, 0) 1 BLUE RGB(0, 0, 255) BLACK RGB(0, 0, 0) */ Edited 2024-12-03 00:00 by twofingers causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

Nothing to do with the comment. It disappears if you try and put it in a program as well. Presumably it converts to NULL or something. |

Hi Peter, Some positive feedback for you regarding the issue I raised last week with TIME$ drift. Using your latest RC4 WebMite on a genuine Pico2W. After 1 hour of the looping program running (which continually updates the displayed TIME$ on an IPS display module) I am happy to report that there is no noticeable drift whatsoever. This is by using a highly accurate digital stopwatch as a comparison. I will see if I can set up a dedicated test-unit, and run the test over a week or so, simply to measure any actual drift more accurately over a much bigger time window. Two questions (one related, one not): 1> does the internal TIME$ get periodically updated from the NTP (assuming the WiFi side of things remains available!)? If so, how often? I seem to remember reading somewhere it is each hour, but cannot find it anywhere; hence the question. 2> What is the max CPUSPEED that I should be able to set for WebMite on a Pico2W? THANKS; fantastic work (as always)!! For everything Micromite visit micromite.org Direct Email: whitewizzard@micromite.o |

No. It is a onboard RTC (e.g.DS3231) that can do this with OPTION RTC AUTO ENABLE 252MHz |

V6.00.01RC5 PicoMiteRP2040V6.00.01RC5.zip PicoMiteRP2350V6.00.01RC5.zip Changes default speed on a number of VGA configurations to 252MHz Fixes bugs in VS1053 playback introduced by sdkV2.1.0 Fixes bugs in MM.HRES/MM.VRES in some displays in portrait modes Allows variables in MM.INFO(PINNO ..) for HDMI pins Fixes colour coding of mouse cursor for VGAUSB version New functionality for non-USB versions - full PS2 mouse support NB: As per the RP2040 keyboard a PS2 mouse may work at 3.3V in which case no voltage conversion is required. Otherwise it should be powered with 5V and the same circuit as the keyboard should be used (see manual). A mouse can be connected direct to a RP2350 at either 3.3V or 5V MOUSE OPEN channel, CLKpin, DATApin Opens a connection to a PS2 mouse connected to the two specified pins Channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2. In the event that a mouse is not connected when the command is called you will get an error (in RC6+) and the command can be called again once it is plugged in MOUSE CLOSE channel Channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2 MOUSE INTERRUPT ENABLE channel, interruptsub Sets an interrupt to trigger when the left mouse button is pressed Channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2 MOUSE INTERRUPT DISABLE channel Disables the left button interrupt Channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2 MOUSE SET channel, y-coord, y-coord, wheel-count Sets the current position that will be returned by the mouse x, y and wheel positions Channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2 To get data from the mouse use the DEVICE(MOUSE ...) function as per a USB mouse DEVICE(MOUSE channel,X) ' returns the x position of the mouse (0-MM.HRES-1) DEVICE(MOUSE channel,Y) ' returns the y position of the mouse (0-MM.VRES-1) DEVICE(MOUSE channel,L) ' returns the state of the left mouse button DEVICE(MOUSE channel,R) ' returns the state of the right mouse button DEVICE(MOUSE channel,M) ' returns the state of the middle mouse button DEVICE(MOUSE channel,W) ' returns the number of clicks the wheel has turned. This is zeroed after it is read. The return can be positive of negative In all cases channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2 DEVICE(MOUSE channel,D) ' should return whether the left mouse button has been double clicked. This isn't currently working but will be for the release. In addition to explicitly opening the mouse for use you can set up the PS2 mouse using OPTION MOUSE CLKpin, DATApin In this case opening the mouse is completely automatic and you can set up interrupts and read values with no additional commands. If this option is used the PS2 mouse can also be used in the editor in the same way as a USB mouse (see the 6.00.01 draft manual for details) |

Question: Shouldn't I get the program name as a return value when I execute Print "MM.Info(CURRENT)",MM.Info(CURRENT) in a program? I get "NONE". (PicoMiteHDMI RP2350A/V6.00.01RC5) Michael causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

Only if the file is loaded from disk. Not autosave or xmodem or edit cause in those cases it doesn't have a name |

Okay. I used the function for the first time. It works after loading from disk. Maybe this should be clarified in the manual. In this case, I saved the program and incorrectly assumed that this gave it a name. Thanks! Michael Edited 2024-12-04 03:26 by twofingers causality ≠ correlation ≠ coincidence |

Flashed with new firmware 6.00.01RC5 for RP2350 VGA & HDMI, configured the mouse OPTION MOUSE GP0,GP1 with the option. Took out and connected the PS/2 mouse. After the reset, if the PS/2 mouse is connected, there is a colored cursor in the editor in the upper left corner, but it does not move. When re-entering the editor, the mouse cursor is no longer there. After the reset, the same situation. Checked with two working PS/2 mice. What could have gone wrong with me?

Have you installed the pullups? For the RP2350 use 4.7kΩ to 5V |
||||
| javavi Senior Member Joined: 01/10/2023 Location: UkrainePosts: 297 |
 I use this connection scheme with a 1k bus pull-up to 5V power supply. And it works great for the keyboard, but something is wrong with the mouse... Also, I connect the mouse and keyboard to one socket on the board via a Y-shaped adapter splitter. Edited 2024-12-04 08:37 by javavi |

| phil99 Guru Joined: 11/02/2018 Location: AustraliaPosts: 2180 |
Are you using a PS/2 splitter adapter, or plugging the mouse directly into the socket? The latter won't work. The mouse plug uses the same pins as as the keyboard plug so a PS/2 splitter adapter transposes pins 6 & 4 to 5 & 3 for the mouse socket. |

No idea, your circuit is far more complex than mine: 4K7 pullups and nothing else. In my case just to 3V3. Try getting rid of all the excess and connecting without a splitter direct to GP0,GP1 with just the 4K7 pullup and power and GND connected. The code is from the CMM2 and known working Edited 2024-12-04 08:50 by matherp |

Why does the mouse cursor appear in the EDITOR only when the PS/2 mouse is connected and disappear when you re-enter the EDITOR? The impulses from the CLOK and DATA mouse on the Pico2 pins are of normal shape, checked with an oscilloscope. Any ideas? P.S. So, on ports GP2, GP3 the mouse worked!!! :)) I will check the scheme further... P.S.S. I swapped the mouse and keyboard on the adapter and configured their options accordingly, and now it works!  This means that my circuit is in order and works fine for both devices. Edited 2024-12-04 10:16 by javavi |
