I wanted to switch to the USB version and reassign the pins. For the first time I realized that OPTION VGA PINS gets not listed with OPTION LIST

How many times do I need to explain that in general option do not show when the settings are default? VGA PINS will show if not default.

phil99 said Try putting all above SUB MM.STARTUP in MM.STARTUP. Perhaps that will help.
I think items in the library only get read when called so they need to be in a Sub of some sort.

SUB MM.STARTUP
WEB NTP -4,"time.nist.gov"
CONST TRUE=-1
CONST FALSE=0
OPTION ESCAPE
OPTION BASE 1
DRIVE "B:"
PRINT DateTime$(now)
END SUB

SUB MM.END
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT "END PROGRAM"
PRINT
END SUB

Thanks but the other lines I have outside of SUBs are executed whenever a program is RUN. I'll try it, though.

I think the thing is at any code in the Library that's not in a sub is executed once before a program is run. It looks like it's being treated like a command line input, which would disappear. I've no idea why it would do that, it could be a bug or something to do with how drive switching works.

An unexpected result with the PORT Function on Pico 2040 LCD and 2053 VGA.

The PORT Command correctly sets all pins, but when reading back the output pin states only the 2 MS Bits are read.

Footnote added 2025-05-19 22:09 by phil99
In RC24 this issue has been fixed.
The PORT Function can now correctly read the same pins as set by the PORT Command.

More info needed. What version? Are the pins set for input? Code example?

Peter,

It seems, it is not possible to set custom [, wheel-count] value using cmd

Quote DEVICE MOUSE SETMOUSE SET channel, y-coord, y-coord [, wheel-count]

I can easy use offset as roundabout.
But it might need fix if it was designet to be setable.

Hi Peter,

RC23 doesn't seem to like the EXECUTE RUN combo from B: drive:

> ? cwd$
B:/
> list "foo.bas"
Execute "Run " + Chr$(34) + _
"B:/bar.bas" + Chr$(34)
> run "foo.bas"
Error : Invalid disk

It works if I just call RUN directly without the EXECUTE so I can do that, but this is part of a program that I want to run on multiple platforms and I have to use EXECUTE RUN on the CMM2.

Best wishes,

Tom

Does

MATH(SD a())

return the population SD or sample SD?

MMBasic since PicoMite 6.00 calculates Sample standard deviation.

Hi.
There is indeed something weird behavior in Port command still now.
Try older version like v.5.08.00. Mine projects Works with older versions but not in V6. and later.

I'm not aware of any bug in port command on RC23. If there is one please post details

Quote RC23 doesn't seem to like the EXECUTE RUN combo from B: drive:

Looks like some CMM2 code that needs removing

if ((q = strchr((char *)p, ':'))) {
q--;
*q = '0';
}

Hi.
Connect for test:

GP0 to GP4
GP1 to GP5
GP2 to GP6
GP3 to GP7

test program:

SetPin gp0,din,pulldown :SetPin gp1,din,pulldown
SetPin gp2,din,pulldown :SetPin gp3,din,pulldown
SetPin gp4,dout :SetPin gp5,dout :SetPin gp6,dout :SetPin gp7,dout

Do
For t=0 To 15
Port(gp4,4)=t
Print Port(gp0,4)
Next
Loop
End

Release v5.08.00 outputs 0 to 15
Release v6.00.00 outputs 0-3

Options are default,no change.

V6.00.02RC24 is available on

https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Beta.zip

Fixes bugs in PORT command and function (I hope!!!)
Fixes bug in Wii Classic support
Fixes bug in EXECUTE "RUN..."
Allows editing in console when screen width/font width is >= 32

Removes delay for ST7796S when switching between reading and writing the framebuffer.
NB: On this display you must bridge across D1 on the display if you wish to read the framebuffer. It is also recommended to bridge across J1 to allow the full 3.3V to drive the display

Various internal changes including one fix to core MMbasic - please confirm no nasty side effects

NB: you should re-load programs and the library, if used, after this update
