Re: UPDATE: DMCP-3.9a / DM42-3.9.1 / dm_tool-2.4
Quick question about updating. The new update procedure makes references to "since 3.7". My DM42 Firmware is currently at 3.1. Do I need to do a update to get it to 3.7 and then a second update to get to the current? Or can I update directly to 3.9. If so, what update procedure do I use. T...

Refer to "Alpha Input Mode" in the DM42 manual:

Re: % Character ?
It's interesting. At first I couldn't enter the Percent Character, but I knew from the Character Table in the Manuel that Char Code 37 (Dec) is the percent character. The setting of Character Entry mode affects what is entered as follows: [A] pressing Shift RCL will enter H in alpha register [a] pre...
Re: Countdown
You lost me, Bill. I'm not yet conversant with matrices, but I'm willing to learn Think of the Matrix as an ARRAY. I'm not familiar with Countdown, but from what I can gather on the Web (Please correct me if I have this all wrong): There are two Stacks of Letter Tiles, one containing Vowels and one...
Re: Countdown
I would probably use two matrix variables - vowel and consonant.
Each matrix element could contain the numeric representation of the character.
Then just randomly choose an element from the particular matrix, and XTOA it to the alpha register.

Re: DM42 License Statement
If the DM42 had been GPL-compliant from the beginning, there would never have been any fuss. And you could have simply ignored the fuss that did occur, since you don't care about the issue anyway. Thomas, I think the key question for me is: Are you satisfied with the final result? Or do you feel th...

Re: saving variables anytime?
Saving variables, matrices at least, is indeed planned for a future firmware version. That's great - I'm assuming "loading" matrices is also planed. This would be great for the Fonts matrix. Just generate the Font matrix once, save it and then load it as required. Besides saving/loading m...

Re: Displaying Strings on the Screen
Hi Gernot,
At present, the characters are just graphed to the screen based on x,y coordinates. It really isn't a line orientated routine.
Maybe in the future.

Re: Proposal: virtual alpha variable?
Question - Do you just wish to store the contents of the ALPHA register for future restore? If so, the the two following routines will do that: 00 { 37-Byte Prgm } 01▸LBL "STOA" 02 1 03 ALENG 04 NEWMAT 05 EDIT 06▸LBL 00 07 ATOX 08 → 09 FC? 76 10 GTO 00 11 EXITALL 12 STO "ALPHA" 1...

Re: Character set for 400x240?
https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=446 (I think - but that thread does get muddled) You need to scroll to the end of that thread to get to the latest version of the string routines that I created. There are two character sets - "Big Chars" and "Small Chars". ...
