I am a little confused here (AGAIN!!) Here is one of the notes from the Version 6 info.

Quote Changes from 6.00.01

Bugs fixed
Various fixes to OPTION LIST
Fixes bug in forward references in PIO assembler when the starting line number is > 1
Fixes bug in PRINT @(x,y) when outputting to a computer console
By default disables HEARTBEAT and enables access to all pins on RP2350B

I have initially used OPTION HEARTBEAT ON to verify that the MMBASIC 6.00.03 was working then OPTION HEARTBEAT OFF and when I tried to use Pin35 (GP25) I get:

Quote Error : Pin 35/VREF is invalid

I even tried OPTION HEARTBEAT DISABLE but I still get the same error.

Any suggestions?

You might need SETPIN GP25 DOUT now.
(Please avoid using the Pin35 reference if you can - GP25 can be on different pin numbers on different modules!)

Mick, I have tried SetPin 35, DOUT but made no difference. I want to overcome this saga as I have just received a shipment of PCB's using that pin as an INPUT as I thought from the notes above all was good with this pin.

Use the gpn variant. Pin numbers refer to the Pico. The rp2350 uses the same gpno/pin number mapping and pin 35 is vref. See the manual for the pseudo pin number for gp25

Thanks Peter, the reason I used the pin numbers is because I had them in an array and loaded them in a for next loop. I will recode and try the GPXX and see how it goes.

Using SetPin GP25 instead of SetPin 35 has worked ok.

Thankyou

I am still not out of the woods, is there a way to use the PIN(GPnn) function where nn is a variable? My previous code just used the pin numbers which were read from an array.

Haven't got a 2350B but this works for the rest.

Array(xx) = MM.INFO(PINNO GPnn)

Quote MM.INFO(PINNO GPnn)
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$=”GP01”: MM.INFO(PINNO A$)
