Testing TFTP file transfer on Android I was able to get and put files to the Pico also if the BASIC program is running.
I am concerned about the behavior that you cannot switch TFTP on and off.

You probably need to set the keyboard pins to something other than gp8,gp9 before disabling and then set the OPTION MOUSE. Certainly works for me with keyboard disabled (GP8,GP9) and mouse on anything else

Ok, another thing for the manual update. Eg. OPTION KEYBOARD us,gp0,gp1
Found the problem - senility! Switch to Mode 1 first then all is good.
Edit. Maybe not completely senile, as the mouse does work in the editor in Mode 2. Just Mode 3 that is a problem. Edited 2024-12-05 09:37 by phil99

Its not supposed to I thought I had locked it to mode 1 only.
UPDATE I had, trying to edit in mode 2 automatically switches to mode 1 so it works. Mode 3 doesn't switch so it doesn't work as the mouse interaction relies on tiles. Perhaps I should switch mode 3 as well Edited 2024-12-05 18:24 by matherp

Android device to/from PicoMite: Hey Gregor, I remember that you were not too impressed with response times; has this improved?

I found a strange behavior with a Webmite: when running GUI TEST LCDPANEL the test starts and after some time it stops, also the heartbeat led stops blinking. After pressing "return" on the console and a few seconds it spits out an error message and runs again until the next hickup. Seems like the system is totally blocked but still does something with the console input.

GUI TEST LCDPANEL doesn't attempt to run the required background tasks to service the WEB hence what you are seeing. It is only really intended to do a quick test that a display is connected correctly

Thank you for supporting PS/2 Mouse, now I have a full-fledged workstation on MMBASIC powered by the monitor. And when there is no electricity, and for us this happens every day on schedule, the monitor is powered by a battery inverter. Edited 2024-12-06 06:01 by javavi

I noticed using map vga demos when re flashing a new prog it keeps the previous mod colours and sometime no display. should it default to no map? PicoMiteHDMI MMBasic USB RP2350A Edition V6.00.01RC4

this blocking also happens if the system is just sitting on command line level. Heartbeat led stops blinking and starts again after pressing return. Error message is the same. 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald

Why when I draw lines with point coordinates protruding beyond the screen resolution perimeter do they wrap around the perimeter, left, right, bottom, but this does not happen at the top.
Line 320,240,800,600 Line 320,240,100,600 Line 320,240,-50,400
I would expect the line to simply be cut off by the visible area of the screen. Yes, and when I draw circles with centers that go beyond the screen, such a closure does not occur, but the circle is simply cut off. Is it possible to fix this?

It works but this option is missing within the manual.

Yes it has. The maximum delay between two calls is now 300 ms, provided there is no overload due to frequent requests. Via Internet, a simple website has a maximum delay of 50 ms.
A Bluetooth stack would of course speed this up considerably. A distance of 20 meters is not a problem using Pico's own BL chip. But Peter does not want to implement this. So the only option is an adapter. Maybe a second Pico as a sandwich.

DS18B20 sensor is not working with V6.00.01 RC5. When checking signal level with the scope, there is no valid level change, just some wiggling at high level. Command is TEMPR START gp14,2 temp_R = TEMPR(gp14) result is 1000
Reflashed V6.00.00 RC15 and it works. RC17 already has the bug. Haven't tried other versions in between them.
Platform is Webmite RP2040 running at 133 MHz.

Not sure why yours works on the older firmware but not on the latest.
Edit. Perhaps a short pause between START and TEMPR is worth a try.
Edit 2 No, that isn't it.

did some research .... the problem appears to be the sink current of the GP14 pin. There is a 4k7 pullup resistor connected to +3V3 and GP14 cannot be pulled to low in V6.00.01 RC5 whereas in 6.00.00 RC15 it does. Without pullup it works sometimes, as the signal is not very clean then. Did not look into the pico datasheet if there are some options to limit drive/sink current on I/O pins. But this seems to be the problem. The effect is the same on Webmite RP2040, Picomite 2040 and Picomite 2350. 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald

Are you using the same 4k7 resistor in both cases. 4k7 needs less than 1mA to sink and you can't program the IO port to less than 2mA so I would check the resistor since phil99 confirms it is working for him. I have reduced the drive from 16ma to 8 as the Rp2350 doesn't like 16 but this should be more than enough. Edited 2024-12-08 19:14 by matherp

yes, i've checked the resistors for value, they are ok. Tried 3 different sensors with 3 different resistors, so that should be not the problem. I will try to figure out what resistor value is the limit, if there is any. 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald
