It is easy to open a demo file, alter it then test it, to then realise you have saved the altered demo file when it should have been saved under a different name and not in the demos folder. Well I've done that many times, oops.

For arduino there's an old prog called XLoader that flashes gcb hex files. I used a drive clone program, can't remember the name, to clone my HDD PC's to SDD. It cloned a 1TB HDD to 250G SSD and a 512G HDD to 240G SSD 6 years ago and all is well. This pc says 94.3G left from 222G. SDD drives spread the data around so it doesn't rewrite the same drive memory I think.
-
I loaded a gcb file then saved it in Videos folder. Flash hex created files in the Videos folder, no device attached. Where you save the file becomes the default save. I'll try a usb ssd
-
Useful advice if testing code - create sub folders for pic, arduino, lgt and let win save as file (1), file (2) etc. I got too many files to find anything when I want it :(
-
these can be programmed in mmbasic and connected with serial to say a uno to use the wifi. just a thought. https://cpc.farnell.com/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-pico-w/pico-w-rp2040-microcontroller-development-board-with-wifi/dp/sc19561?mckv=s_dc|pcrid|605262956803|kword||match||plid||slid||product|SC19561|pgrid|138313687415|ptaid|pla-1825758690938|&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-SHOPPING-9262013734-138313687415-SC19561&s_kwcid=AL!5616!3!605262956803!!!network}!1825758690938!&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwydSzBhBOEiw...

thanks Evan. see in 2 weeks £7.65 but £11.69 with tax and postage. still, beer money. a useful project. integers fine and better really.

The sensor is probably real. Others are £21 eg adafruit etc. I'll order the ae one. useful project. a bar graph display maybe?

Spi max speed , would lgt be needed or ucontroller with lot of ram to maybe sort a frame buffer? Sprites and layers come to mind. Lot of work for you and Steve, hope it goes well. no gui editor to use it... yes!

Nice. Half the price of 7" Nextion. Interesting to see what can be done , like framebuffer. What pic to drive it, lgt 328 ?

I got your ' PCA9685 routines for the GCBASIC compiler ' Copyright (C) 2018 Evan R. Venn 16 channel but i2c but today and think I used it for 2 stepper motor drives
-
I asked on another forum if there's a difference and with spi.. no. The viewing angle is the display not the st7789. using 378MHz 32 bit. spi slows it
-
Dan, I think the LGT8F328P is a great 8bit chip.

Anobium implemented ssd1306 pixel read x,y when I asked and I wrote a tron game but that was reading from a 1K buffer. He also added read pixel x,y to ili9341 where as it said miso not used before. (reset can be tied hi also and it works.. save a pin?) Is it only the st7789 with touch and sd card uses miso? Not a problem really but handy for some games or even a blit function. it looks a tidy display and depending where you buy from , cheap. invaders - #define GLCD_DI DIGITAL_12 ' Data in | MISO...
-
gcstudio include ... #define ST7789_DI GLCD_DI ;DI IS NOT USED within the library - presence for completeness
-
So read pixel should work. An alternative to ili9341. Is it better/faster?
-
Nice work. Interesting display, also available 240 * 135. Also with touch and sd card. Is miso / sdi implemented?

Hi evan. You posted about esp32 vga board. I bought one but don't do C. There's a tiny basic interpreter for it. https://www.hackster.io/sl001/a-vga-computer-based-on-esp32-and-fabgl-with-sound-graphics-976894

there was talk of buttons and pins used. I got 2 of these 5 click button pads cheap and ok not 8bit but same idea ie use a-d pin to measure voltage, I'm using with 3.3V supply and logic but arduino button board is meant for 5V. I should try with 328 but can't be. It uses 1 pin to get 5 buttons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChLwrszmFig

it's an ili9488 in5819 between sdo and touchdo 10KR between reset and touchDin I did use a 680R between sdo(miso) and touchdo this is only for picomite not gcb ili9341 works fine on picomite ili9488 works fine also now and is swap-able For gcb this is probably not relevant. You don't need miso for display unless you want pixel read. reset can be tied high.
-
I don't know if this is relevant but I use an ili9481 but with mmbasic and picomite and there's problems with miso, a 680R needs wiring in and I used a diode as well for the display to work. For the ILI9488 it says "Initialises a TFT display using the ILI9488 controller. This supports 480 * 320 resolution. Note that this controller has an issue with the MISO pin which interferes with the touch controller. For this display to work the MISO pin must not be connected"

You got competition. There's interpreted basic for these but they are so fast it doesn't need compiling. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4864

On the Back Shed forum someone recently posted Hello, As an alternative to PicoMiteVGA I have connected a Pico via serial to a Lily TTGO VGA32 board, which has the FabGL extended ANSI terminal installed. This gives 640x480 pixels with 16 colours. The extended terminal commands include points, lines, rectangles, polygons, circles, scroll and sprites. I would like to know how it performs in speed compared to the PicoMiteVGA. This can be tested with a simple program like this, for example: cls startime...

I like the arduino nano with gcb... they're cheap! Will this be cheap or is it new firmware for existing nano?? gcb for rpipico ??? that would be the dream :)

Uno mega 328 runs at slower clock if run from 3.3V if any use. I found uot when trying to change pin logic levels. Pics don't work like that, logic levels drop but clock stays the same.

@Haren-"By the way, I've read that the ltg328 is 1,8-5,5V device!?" I thought it was 3.3V logic. powered from the usb lead. I will set a pin on and measure it's voltage. I only used lgt with ili and ssd displays, not connected other hardware.

@Haroen "I will buy an ili9341 with touch and 5V logic levels to try oscilloscope and ASCII code." most ili9341 are 3.3V logic and need a bi-directional logic level converter board, I mean Chinese ebay. LGT328 is 3.3V logic so is simpler to connect to ili9341 and it is visibly faster than arduino 328p. The touch screen is not good and worst on lgt, it needs software spi as it is too fast, ask Anobium. ILI has test screen pixel x,y and is a nice display. Check it has the touch chip as some do not....

You are using gcstudio? I was using gcb. I tried gcstudio and no problems with LGT.

Yes it is lower amplitude on lgt328 yet testing 0V, 3.3V and 5V , they show as 0V to 5V on the display. Strange but no idea why. I never tried the ssd1306 with lgt328 very much. Not tested like I did with ili9341, which went much faster with no code changes. I shall play with ssd graphics using lgt to test. xoring graphics is a nice feature but limited uses. I would test your code for chars but lost the thread.

I met someone I've known for ages but didn't see much of and he reckoned that wearing facemasks was for testing AI facial recognition ... er... what could I say? ... and omicron was an anagram of moronic :)

I plugged lgt328 board into win7 ultimate 32bit and no usb to uart driver. Win could not fix it. GCB has stopped running since installing latest gcstudio on win 7, missing messages dat. On win10 it's usb serial device on com 6.

Searching. It's supported by gcb, i2c arduino nano so it's something you probably wrote. All servos worked but the leg motion and a psu.. it got put on the shelf. I found this.

I guess users vary from hobbyists like me to experts that use mplabx. I used GCB and it's crashing editor but just the minimum to write code and use file,edit and flash hex and programmer preferences. Easy to get used to, GCStudio was initially pretty to look at and the editor didn't crash but it has evolved into something that is more and more complicated. I think it would deter a new user. Anobium's recent github guide just made gcs seem more difficult. imho. All I want is to write my code and...
-
After watching Anobium github guide I found that click spanner then GCcode, I could paste a file copied to clipboard but seems it needs saving but it's all gone weird. Shut down GCS and reopen and it opened the pasted file. Played around and messed everything. So many meaningless options. Cannot get it to paste again. GCS is too complicated for me. Maybe a lite version for those who don't need all the scrolling lists of unknown option commands.

I'm surprised connecting to 5V worked ie top line and didn't blow the lgt ! So the lgt is a plug in replacement for arduino nano... with prog prefs changed and #chip LGT8F328P,32 ;#chip mega328p,16 #option explicit #include <LGT8F328P.h> Just testing code and not noticeably twice as fast as using ili9341.

Out of interest-your base line xor on lgt328. 0V, 3.3V, 5V. Tried running ssd1306 from 3.3V , works the same as 5V supply. Not the same floating graph as arduino 328.

People's opinion of easy are different but thanks for your time and effort.

I was going to post my thoughts but changed my mind.

@Haroen LGT328 DID work, it is the adc voltage is 0V to 3.3V, so the graph is a line at the bottom of the screen until I touch the adc pin. Pin compatible with arduino nano 328. I have not tried ssd1306 since 2017 from my file dates. Anobium has updated and I gave up with github. If I want a head ache I drink wine the night before :)

synwrite under gcstudio seems the same. Any code errors and it greys out and asks if windows can fix it. yawn. why not just keep using gcb as it's smaller file size and doesn't need an interface to use it? I liked gcstudio because the dark theme editor did not crash but if you got to use syn write then what's the point except auto updates? Someone sort the Geaney option out the box ie in install, option to install geany and it's in the ide list so if chosen just works

"But instead we have now ruled out all of the 3rd world users that work on hand me down PC's in townships or school shacks." learn c+ or python on arduino or picomite and mmbasic
-
I expect a telling off for posting gcstudio user feedback but feedback is asked for. There may be a way to paste copied code but it's not obvious. I never used mplabx or would want to. Way too complicated and I only use "Arduino" uno,nano or lgt328 not pic. If it's 64bit only then win 7 32bit using synwrite from gcstudio will end. And synwrite in gcstudio still crashes. I don't like the idea that gcstudio will replace gcb but you could ask for your money back :) I got visual studio on rpi400 if it's...

Good video but is gcstudio getting complicated? I had to use synwrite because I copied code from your link but could not find a way to paste it. no new file paste like synwrite.

OK, copy/pasted from link commented 'Footer '© 2023 GitHub, Inc. 'Footer navigation 'Ter and it worked although very different to my scope I posted as thank you for writing xor code.

Thank you. It was open file click programmer preferences click preferences Uncheck verbose box should it be set off by default?

This the above code you could have copied/pasted. This just an observation from Haroen's posts mentioning xor. I never tried xoring chars before.
-
Why is synwrite flash hex 6X faster than gcstudio flash hex for same file? Is all the scrolling info necessary? Testing code needs a quick turn around to see results.

My above code xor flashing "test". do GLCDPrint (0,0,"test",1) wait 1 s GLCDPrint (0,0,"test",1) wait 1 s loop This prints and erases "test" so xor works with chars. I think it is because it writes the char rows but even with your guides and glcd is written in basic, it can be difficult for me to understand. My code for ssd1306 is dated 2017. It seems that xor changes the pset to xor and chars are plotted but seems they are not. Clueless, stan ssd1306 works with picomite which is 3.3V logic and no...

Anobium- I found a bread board wired for ssd1306 and 3K9R pullups and 328 nano but it had a lgt328 on the board and it did not work. I then remembered lgt328 is 3.3V logic and can not remember if it ever worked. Code was changed to #chip lgt328. Changing to 328p nano, same pinout and it worked? Does it need a logic level converter like ili9341 does with arduino 328p nano as ili9341 is 3.3V logic but the other way around that ssd1306 is 5V logic and lgt328 is 3.3V logic... if you follow my drift?

This sets xor and print and erases "test" although it's set to foreground ie glcdprint (0,0,"test",1). This must be dated code by Anobium.
