BasicMicro Studio 2.0.0.0 has been released. The hardware serial syntax changed just a bit. Somewhere between IDE and Studio enabling individual interrupts changed as well. Using hardware serial enables all interrupts but you need a global enable command to enable individual timers or inputs if the hardware serial is NOT used.

The changes are pretty minor and are detailed on my programs page.

I've modified all my CVS/CVS4 programs. I am slowly going through my PSIM programs.

If anyone cares ...

Dave

Cool, Dave. The changes are minor, you say, but obviously worth using.

My PSIM has been idling and I'm itching to get it integrated into my current setup, so it's good to hear of some life in CVS/PSIM land.

Do you know the system requirements for Studio? (BasicMicro posts nothing.) My WinXP machine is getting flaky, so it'll have to go on the Vista box.

I don't think the requirements for Studio are too much. I have it on an XP machine.

I used to have IDE on a Win98 machine. I was planning on taking that to the Portland meeting. Guess I'll have to pull it out and see if Studio loads on it. I think it probably will.

No the changes aren't too bad. However, if you start from IDE-17 to Studio-2, there is a constant stream of changes. None are bad, unless you have 62 programs that all need to be modified!

Some of the fixes are quite nice, though. The #include will now allow me to minimize the changes going forward by keeping a common support code base.

Of course the latest changes affect serial which I use for the LCD and MIDI. The other changes were I2C which affected my SpeakJet and CVS, so there aren't very many that really affect the PSIM.

Hooray for #include.

I've got a SpeakJet chip, too. Haven't installed it in the PSIM. "Real Soon Now." <cough!>

Thanks for the info. 'Night,
John

I tried to update my IDE to Studio 2.0.0.0 on my Win98 computer. It loads but will not run. The error message simply states to update to a later version of Windows. It probably just requires XP as a minimum now.

Drats! I used this Windows 98 machine for a portable program loader for my CVS. Now I'll have to find something else to bring to the PDX 2010 Synth Gathering.

I just found out they have a lightweight loader. I can compile all my programs on my XP machine and move the .bin files to my Windows 98 machine for loading.

http://downloads.basicmicro.com/downloads/software/BasicMicroAtomProLoader.zip

You have to create a folder and a program.ini file for each program that contains certain information.

A lightweight loader, that's cool. I wonder if it'll run on a netbook or Pocket PC? Not that I own one of either, but it could be handy.

I know it requires XP or later (e.g. it will not run on Windows 98).
