Overview

  • Card set running BASIC Interpreter for the Raspberry Pi Pico on Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040
  • MMBasic is a Microsoft BASIC compatible implementation of the BASIC language with floating point, integer and string variables, arrays, long variable names, a built in program editor and many other features
  • 8 Flash locations for storage.
  • Support for SD Card

MMBASIC Credits

Peter Mather led the project, ported the MMBasic interpreter to the Raspberry Pi Pico and wrote the hardware device drivers. Geoff Graham wrote the MMBasic interpreter and the manual. Mick Ames wrote the PIO compiler and its corresponding documentation.

Hardware

Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040

XIAO-RP2040.PNG

QT_Py_(RP2040_based) Wiki page

  • Two manufacturers
  • USB Type C connector
  • RP2040 32-bit Cortex M0+ dual-core
  • Runs at ~125 MHz
  • 264 KB RAM
  • SPI FLASH chip for storing files and CircuitPython/MicroPython code storage
    • 8 MB - Adafruit
    • 2 MB - Seeedstudio
  • No EEPROM
  • Can be used with C/C++ (Arduino), MicroPython, or CircuitPython
  • Built-in RGB NeoPixel LED
  • 13 GPIO pins (11 breakout pads and two QT pads):
    • Four 12 bit ADCs (one more than Pico)
    • I2C port
      • 2 I2C: 1 on QT pins, one on the (Adafruit) breakout pads - Adafruit
      • 1 I2C on XAIO
    • SPI and UART peripherals, in standard QT Py locations,
    • PWM outputs on every IO pin - for servos, LEDs, etc
    • There are 6 GPIO in consecutive order for PIO compatibility
  • 3.3V logic and power 600 mA
  • Both Reset button and Bootloader select buttons for quick restarts (no unplugging-replugging to relaunch code)

QTPy49-01 Card

QTPy49-01-P1080524-720px.jpg

  • The QTPy49-01 Card combines the QTPy49 card and SD_CARD_X49 card onto one card
  • Headers for other pins
  • DC in jack with 5V regulator and Schottky diode
  • Power can be supplied from DC in (7-12V) or USB Jack

Software

Install MMBASIC on Seeed XIAO RP2040

  • Hold down the "BOOT" button
    • The "B" is written on the board shown to the right
  • Connect the XIAO RP2040 via USB C cable to your computer while still pressing the button
  • The computer then will appear a disk driver(RP1-RP2)
  • Download the PicoMite_Firmware.zip
  • Drag the .uf2 file to the disk drive ("RP1-RP2")
  • Card will re-boot
  • Connect in TeraTerm over serial
