Peter, While waiting for my board to arrive, have been reading through your book - congratulations on a fantastic body of work, can't wait to start trying all the examples/exercises. One thing I have noticed, my 78 year old eyes, even with reading glasses, struggle to discriminate between the seriff body text (Times?) and the sans seriff commands/functions/examples(Ariel?) Could the sans seriff commands/ functions etc be in a bolder font or perhaps even coloured font? Just a suggestion. Great job, Regards, Doug. ... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it! |

Where can we get this book everyone keeps talking about? I've searched the messages and can't find a link. |

There is no link. It is out to a few people for review. I'll publish more widely when I'm happy with it |

Honestly Panky I just loaded the firmware.uf on my PICO 3 and found it so easy to use the help system and I'm sure you will love it.  Now to back to the start of the book and go thru the examples and at some stage today got do a few farm jobbies but it isn't looking good as this has me hook and sinker  Regards Bryan |

Ok second day going thru the book and went back to the start to refresh and decided as I hadn't tried playing any MP.3's I used fm() to navigate to /sd/Music only to find this....  Did a reboot and still the same, now my Bacoben MP.3 collection in in /SD/Music and the V3 PICO MMBasic it just worked. Now navigating to the other folders on /sd they just open with no problems.

Ok when I did a reboot this morning got the message where a gamepad was on 3 when no game pad was inserted. So put a gamepad on and now got 2 assigned gamepads so took the gamepad off line and this error came up  So getting closer to finding out why the Music folder won't open and trying to edit "pcaudio.py" was empty may need more reading where I thought this would of worked off the bat. Regards Bryan |
