Interesting Applications

Running PicoMite (MaxiMite) BASIC

  • Two versions
    • VGA, PS/2 version
    • USB-Serial with SD Card

Running PicoMite (MaxiMite) BASIC (VGA, PS/2)

The PicoMiteVGA boots straight into the MMBasic prompt. At which point you can enter, edit and save the program, test BASIC commands and run the program. MMBasic is a Microsoft BASIC compatible implementation of the BASIC language. It is full featured with floating point, 64-bit integers and string variables, long variable names, arrays of floats, integers or strings with multiple dimensions, extensive string handling and user defined subroutines and functions. Typically it will execute a program up to 100,000 lines per second. Embedded compiled C programs can be used for even higher performance.

The PicoMiteVGA is a Raspberry Pi Pico with VGA output, PS2 keyboard input, SD card storage and running the free MMBasic interpreter.

The PicoMiteVGA firmware reserves eight program storage "slots" in the Raspberry Pi Pico flash memory. Programs can be saved and retreived from these without the need for any additional storage.

You can draw grapics in 16 different colours, show text in multiple fonts and save your programs to an SD card. For more storage SD cards can be connected with full support for these built into MMBasic including the ability to open files for reading, writing or random access and loading and saving programs. SD cards connect directly to the Raspberry Pi Pico and the firmware will work with cards up to 32GB formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. The files created can be read and written on personal computers running Windows, Linux or the Mac operating system.

The PicoMiteVGA boots straight into the MMBasic prompt. At which point you can enter, edit and save the program, test BASIC commands and run the program.

The User Manual is a comprehensive description of the PicoMiteVGA including circuits for interfacing the VGA monitor, keyboard and SD card.
