TVout libraries causing problems

[kipperklank]

when I include tye TVout library, not even using it just including, i get the error: 'unsigned char* sp' redirected as different kind of symbol

even if I get this fixed, how, would I output the console to TV?

man this libray has been dormit for a loooong time, I doubt I will get a responce

Hi. I haven't used the library for a long time now. There are much better ways to accomplish this same task with newer versions of the OS, since at least iOS 5.x.

Build the example code to see how to use it. It will create a window into which you can add things like you do with the main window.

OH. wait. sorry I got confused about which library this email was pertaining to. let me get back to you.

lol and wow that was fast

[BleuLlama]

Okay. The version of the TV Out library that you may be using might be colliding with one of the definitions in this code. Be aware that without TV Out, this code will use most of your AVR's ram... you'll have just a few hundred bytes for your program space. The TV out library needs at least a K to be useful.

I would not recommend using it, and I believe I pursued it at one point, but it was experimenting with it and found it to not be a good way to go.

One thing you could do is have a second arduino (or propeller, or whatever) as a dedicated video display unit, then use serial or I2C to connect the two together. Grant Searle has a project here: http://searle.hostei.com/grant/MonitorKeyboard/index.html which might be a nice interface to this.

Someone has also hacked the serial interface chip, the AT32u4 (iirc) on the newer Arduino Unos to be a video display driver. here's a link to that project, which happens to be an Apple II emulator here: http://dpeckett.com/turning-the-arduino-uno-into-an-apple To be fair though, this project is pretty hardcore. ;)

I hope that this helps you. I just know that trying to add TV Out library to the Tiny Basic code base could be difficult to infeasible, sadly.

Cheers, and let me know how it goes!

yes im using a mega2560 for this and i think it has enough recorces sence i have a 2560 mega and an uno that might be a good idea to use two and also as i try to use the SAVE command the terminal says unimplemented, i thought i could use sd csrds for file in/output?

[kipperklank]

Im thinking about using the Wire libraries? how would i do that? I want to "dump" the serial terminal of the Mega 2560 running basic to the Uno running the tvout library.

[BleuLlama]

Wire is essentially I2C, so you'd hook up the SCL and SDA pins of the mega (I2C Bus) with ground i think, to the same lines on the Uno, which I believe are A4 and A5.

Here's an example of someone doing it: http://www.instructables.com/id/I2C-between-Arduinos/

Then have the Mega be the Master, and the Uno be the slave, i would think, with the TV Out library on the Uno.

I've never used this myself, although there are some projects where I need to learn I2C comms between arduinos.

The Wire library itself was pretty straightforward to get going. I've used it to talk with a clock chip, and that was super easy.

The great thing about it is that it's low overhead since it's basically an interface to existing hardware. So it won't use many resources on either 'duino.

I did it and it works, funny thing is that I dont even have to use I2C libraries or edit code. if I put the serial monitor example in the TV out and change the baud rate to match tye BASIC board (mega) and connect the TX and RX respectively it outputs the serial from the BASIC board to the TVout board (uno) and it displays the serial. I don't have to even edit ether of the sketches wow

[BleuLlama]

Awesome! :D

For my little basic machine I ended up getting a 1.8" color LCD module from Adafruit and did something similar. I used that as the display device (9600 baud in, text display out) and a commodore keyboard interfaced to another arduino which spit out 9600 baud serial as the input device. the two together acted like a serial terminal.

i cant implement the ps2keyboard libraries beacuse the ide that i use to compile the basic one the old ide doesnt support renaming libraries ex : PS2Keyboard keyboard; and if i rename keyboard to PS2Keyboard i get the error: PS2Keyboard does not have a name type and i dont knowbtye old way to do this nor what its called so googleing it is chalenging

[kipperklank]

typo : "...dont know the old way to..."

Closing this as the issue has been resovled. 👍
