An alternative and simple graphical Windows TFTP client is: http://www.3iii.dk/linux/dd-wrt/tftp2.exe

On Android you can take the "TFTP CS" app.

Hello Geoff,

You're welcome. I did the clipping/cropping(?) with the software from https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ .

@javavi: Not everything always has to be straight. This is an emotional picture and is intended to lighten up the manual. I would also choose a different perspective for a technical image.

OPTION TFTP ON/OFF is missing.

Page 66
File Transfer

I think we should recommend TFTP OFF OPTION to avoid security issues after the development process is completed.

To get data from the mouse use the DEVICE(MOUSE ...) function as per a USB mouse

DEVICE(MOUSE channel,X) ' returns the x position of the mouse (0-MM.HRES-1)
DEVICE(MOUSE channel,Y) ' returns the y position of the mouse (0-MM.VRES-1)
DEVICE(MOUSE channel,L) ' returns the state of the left mouse button
DEVICE(MOUSE channel,R) ' returns the state of the right mouse button
DEVICE(MOUSE channel,M) ' returns the state of the middle mouse button
DEVICE(MOUSE channel,W) ' returns the number of clicks the wheel has turned. This is zeroed after it is read. The return can be positive of negative

In all cases channel is included for compatibility with USB mouse functionality and must be set to 2

DEVICE(MOUSE channel,D) ' should return whether the left mouse button has been double clicked. This isn't currently working but will be for the release.

I tried mouse x,y and ok. anyone done a demo of the mouse cursor not erasing background? hdmi usb. I'll have a go but don't want to reinvent the wheel.
blit cursor area? the mouse is underestimated imho. could be used for clicking labels or games.

SETPIN GP6, GP5, I2C2 ' assign the I/O pins for I2C2
instead of
SETPIN GP6, GP7, I2C2 ' assign the I/O pins for I2C2

Things seem to have quieten down, so this is the current manual. It is still a draft but is close to the final.
PicoMite_User_Manual.pdf

It has many changes since the last draft:
- The first few chapters have been rewritten to make it easier for a newbie to follow.
- The chapters have been rearranged to bring similar subjects together.
- Most suggestions have been incorporated (thanks guys).
- Many, many minor tweaks.

Hopefully this does not have many errors/typos/etc but if you spot one, please let me know.

It doesn't of course. Default baudrate for USB versions is 115200

Geoff,

Since the baudrate is ignored by non-USB and USB requires 115200, then simply change this section to USE BAUDRATE 115200, and avoid mentioning the 1200 here.

Thanks Peter.

matherp said MM.HRES and MM.VRES NOT MM.INFO(HRES) and MM.INFO(VRES)

I thought that MM.INFO(HRES) and MM.INFO(VRES) have replaced MM.HRES and MM.VRES ?
