Hello Everybody

Does WebMite MMBasic RP2350B Edition V6.02.00 support this board from WaveShare?

“RP2350 Microcontroller Development Board RP2350B-Plus-W, Equipped with Raspberry Pi Radio Module 2, Supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Integrated 520 KB SRAM and 16 MB On-Chip Flash Memory”

> option list
WebMite MMBasic RP2350B Edition V6.02.00
OPTION FLASH SIZE 16777216
OPTION COLORCODE ON
OPTION PICO OFF
OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 200000
> OPTION WIFI “FRITZ!Box 6890 XW”, “xxxxxxxx”

It works with Picomite. But not with WebMite.

I THINK that the WebMite is supported ONLY on the official Raspberry Pi 2350 module.
This is why you are getting an error, as the FW cannot communicate with the CYW43 WiFi chip that it EXPECTS to find on that board.

Others will correct me if I have that wrong, but I seem to recall Peter saying that developing the WebMite was so difficult, that the ONLY unit that will EVER be supported, is the official Raspberry Pi 2 WiFi module.

Again - just going on my memory, but I think the idea of porting the WebMite FW to any of the plethora of other modules with WiFi chips, was too daunting for Peter, and I don't blame him!

Okay. Let's see if the board works with Python.

Maybe there is a circuit diagram so that the (in?)compatibility with the RPi one can be found.

Support for the WaveShare RP2350B-Plus-W (including PSRAM) is included in the latest 6.02.01 betas. This is untested as I don't have one and it is also a big code change so please try it and let me know how it goes.

I stand corrected.

Hello Peter,
I'm getting the same errors with the Beta WebMite MMBasic RP2350B Edition V6.02.01b0. I guess I'll have to stick with the RP2350A and use an MCP 23017 port expander for the missing pins. Thanks for the quick info.

Regards
Gerad
