My ANSI terminal may work in spite of itself. I just (finally) hunted for and found my CC3 w/ the USB serial link and cleared off and set up my Intellivision ...
For what it's worth, I haven't managed to get the basic loopback working on my own NTSC system. That said, I'm operating on the edge of falling asleep... I've...
Ok, after a good night's sleep, I was able to tackle this this morning. I downloaded and installed minicom, and recompiled my loopback program to use 9600 ...
Joe, Thanks for the detailed report. I'm pretty sure I tried at least 1200 and 4800 bauds yesterday and it didn't change anything. I will try using indirect...
I figured out where the repeated characters came from. My own Linux-side program was inserting them whenever it detected a dropped character on the loopback...
Hello all! I just noticed that the pre-processor accepts macros with names that contain more than word characters. I don't know if this was common knowledge,...
Hello: This is most likely impossible, but I was wondering if there was a way to coerce the assembler to inject the actual evaluated value of a symbol in the...
Look to the left of the instruction in the actual emitted opcode words. For immediate mode and direct mode instructions, the second word is the actual ...
dZ, I'm just pointing out that the information you want is probably already in the listing file, usually at the left, where the opcodes are. For anything ...
Joe, I was debugging a rather complex macro and I wanted to get visibility into various symbols with intermediate information but I was trying to avoid...
I have been doing some more research. The Transmit Holding Register Empty signal only says when the TX FIFO is empty. You can actually queue up 16 bytes, but...
... By the way, on a separate note, that's not the only problem. Macros with no arguments tend to confuse the pre-processor when they are imbedded with...
Ah, gotcha. In those cases, I've been known to use a DECLE directive to see what something evaluated to. That was before I added the SMSG directive and value...
Yeah, another consequence of the macro / assembler parser disconnect. From: DZ-Jay Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2013 2:34 PM To: intvprog@yahoogroups.com Reply To:...
I was trying to avoid the putting a bunch of SMSG all over the place just to have to remove them later. Like I said, it's really not worth all the trouble....
Joe, I finally got a chance to run the same test using indirect mode. It doesn't really work any better than direct mode but I do see a difference : LSR reads...
Arnauld, Yeah, it does fit the hypothesis. I haven't a better hypothesis at the moment, either. How disappointing, though. —Joe -- We sell Spatulas, and...
As we all know the STIC's background table does not cover the entire field used by the STIC. According to the STIC.txt in the SDK, if the empty part of the...
Doppel, The STIC seems to use the color from the previous scan line for the fill on the left. For the fill on the top, it uses the last active background...
Yeah, I suspected the STIC might have had a latency issue in regards to updating the background color, but I wasn't sure. Thanks, this has been helpful....
Joe, I did some more testing. First, I tried to quickly read consecutive values of LSR in a row, buffering the results and then displaying them on the screen....
Arnauld, Yes, if there's a timing issue with the CC3 where occasionally it doesn't make it to the bus fast enough, then you're most likely going to see a 1...
Hello: The macro pre-processor seems to interpret the square brackets as the argument-grouping operator, so it appears that array slices cannot be passed to...
Sure: Rewrite the macro engine. :-) Other than that, I can't think of a way around that that isn't ugly. :-( For example: MACRO index(a,i) %a%[%i%] ENDM ...
... Sure, I'll get right on it! LOL! ... That works for my purpose, which includes all sorts of ugly constructs already. The saving grace is that, although...
Hello: Is there a way to evaluate an array slice representing a string as a symbol? For instance, if I have the following symbol: _foo PROC ; ... ENDP and...
Hello: The P-Machinery framework is growing into a rather large project. So far, it includes mostly framework-specific libraries that facilitate the creation...
Hi all! I'm curious as to what anyone else think about this suggestion from Carl. As Joe noted before, I also forgo debouncing of disc input in Christmas...
