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.

Please note: NOT requesting new features but I have been surprised in the past by simply asking.

Is there any way to switch off the coloured banner at the prompt?
For an embedded controller, it looks toy-ish

I see that there is a mechanism to switch off/on the video output.
Is there any way to keep it off during power up and switch it on after my GUI has loaded (just to avoid the startup flicker)?

The startup banner does not seem to show if OPTION AUTORUN ON is configured, which you are likely to have in an embedded system.

I notice a little glitch with OPTION AUTORUN ON if the program does not have an explicit END command at the end of the program, that has been added to the list but seems OK for now if you have the END statement.

Hi Gerry,

Yes Autorun is the norm and if I break-out, I have just the prompt.

The CMM2 is the final piece of the puzzle for what I have dubbed SYCAR

Stuff

Repair



This whole MMBasic eco-system of CMM2 (master) and PicoMite (slaves) allows me to reach my goal of a totally open control system that's free of proprietary, planned obsolescence clap trap. A high performance control architecture featuring a hosted interpreter and editor and no clunky OS required.

I want the end-user to be able to access everything which means that they will be using the command prompt and at some point the logo will be seen. Not a biggie though, nobody will care.
