Hi folks, In the presumed absence of anyone selling Pico Computer 3 in the UK, what is the absolutely minimal setup to get an HDMI compatible PicoMite? I need just enough so I can test my adventure game for compatibility, don't need sound or USB at this time.

Using that board will be hdmi compatible but NOT PC3 compatible as the pinout is different |

pinout for what ? All I want is enough to test the graphics of my murder mystery will work on PicoMiteHDMI devices - MMB4L's simulation is incomplete, and in any case I've nothing to compare the behaviour with. Perhaps I will get a PC3 (or 4?) at some point, but I don't need one enough that I'm prepared to go through the large upfront cost of a multiple JLCPCB order.

Well D'uh! Born, bred and will die as a European - I've got more in common with the lot of you than the majority of the nutters across the pond. Yes, I know, no politics, but ... I'll say nothing more. Tom MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

I think you'll need OPTION HDMI PINS 2, 0, 6, 4 to get that sock to work in MMBasic. That's not the setup for the PC3. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

That's because 2,0,6,4 is the default setting (I just checked). PC3 uses 1,3,5,7. . Edited 2026-08-16 23:46 by Mixtel90 Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |
