XtsTinyBasicPlus

The orginal goal of this project was to make a smarter & powerfull(er) serial com to my Canon X-07 (by adding support to UARTs & uSDCards).

It 's now happening ...

And I hope some other ideas will come soon....

It look nicer now !

As original TinyBasicPlus implementation doesn't support STRING variables,

I started a little-experimental support for those.

I added 4 string vars. $1 to $4 (I know : it's not the casual formalism for BASIC string values, but it was simplier to modify the interpreter by this way... maybe later, will do better)

So I can now transform my little board into a notepad, typewriter.. or simply displays what user inputs...

(GitHub is up to date...)

Today, I made a mainboard (to replace my breadboard layout) & started to build an enclosure

I used a mono-layer perfboard & some DIP socket in order that each component can be replaced if broken....

Today, I added 3 user buttons to the board (UP,DOWN,OK)

Then I improved my shell with 3 new functions :

• KEY() that returns the state of the 3 btns (1,2,4)
• LCCLS that clear the LCD
• LCPRINT <lineNum>,<expr> that prints a line on the LCD

So I can now create some simples menus :)
