ASCII/VT-100 Oscilloscope, TinyBasic & other diversions

Greetings:

For a change of pace (or a hands-on introduction to using
an in-circuit emulator), please try:

http://www.cybertheque.org/homebrew/hmi-200

Here you will have realtime access to ICE hardware and
you can compile/assemble/execute/debug example code
or your own code.  Please try the DC-200Hz digital
oscilloscope and my take on Tom Pittman's 1977
TinyBasic interpreter available both the in the
'precompiled' and 'ucos-ii compile' sections.

The 'scope has standard controls like horiz. timebase
selection, vert. position, scale illum., triggered-
sweep (positive slope) or free-run, trace freeze, etc.;
feel free to add features like delayed-sweep, one-shot,
coarse vertical gain (using a to d scaling), etc.
I will add a voltage controlled preamp to the vertical
at some point with gain selection and the rest of the
features expected on a 'scope.

I have configured TinyBasic with 4k of core which is
enough for most of the antique applications which
it hosted; for now please try the few samples in the
menu. I will be adding more entertaining ones.

The site does not provide exclusive access; please
'log in' to the irc chat session at the bottom of
the main page when you are using the emulator and
co-ordinate activity with others 'in the queue'.
The chat applet needs fixing: it will scroll
the message buffer with each 'PING? PONG!' message
even if they are hidden so after about ten minutes
past text has vanished, and automatic join of the
channel doesn't work. You will need to type
/join #hmi-200 in the entry box and also make
your presence known every so often.

Examples in the 'compile' section are very basic
demonstrations of techniques on the target and
do not represent best practices; examples in the
'ucos-ii compile' and 'precompiled' sections
are more edifying.

Please read the 'quick start guide' (a conveniently
floating window and printer-friendly) for
operational notes.

Interesting code is very welcome and will be
added to the menus.

Please forgive the sudden problems with the domain; I
am working right now to resolve them...

I didn't get an e-mail from the registrar for renewal so
my memory was vague as to the date; it's renewed but I'm
not certain how long it will take for dns to update.

All fixed; please try it.

Please try this and let me know how it worked and what
problems you may have had.  This is sort of a 'roll your
own' IDE that I use frequently and so I don't have the
perspective of an outside user.  Try to compile,
load and run the 'getch-putch-siren' app.; a
successful run will be obvious on this end:-).

Some folks running Firefox on Linux have had problems
with the video; I'd also appreciate feedback about
the video and audio and what browser/os you are using.

Thanks to all,

Regards,

Michael
