sfont_len - wierd

I have discovered that the sfont_len actually puts the pixel width in register 'b', instead of 'a' as the sysroutine specifies. Is this a brass thing? Or am I missing something? LD HL,Scolon*8 ; compute offset B_CALL SFont_Len I've recently discovered this routine, where I previously made my own map...

why does ti contain op1set1, 2, 3 and 4

I am really just curious, why does ti offer op1set1/2/3/4. I understand that op1set1 will help setup the exponent and real flag in floating point to make creating floating point values a little easier. But, why also have 2 3 and 4, as well as system routines? Just seems odd.

Re: Port send and receive

Thanks for the link and suggestion. Glad to see a quick response on this site. I just realized that the device I am connecting to uses Send and Get (which makes it a CBL??) as Basic commands, so I think I can assume I can call from asm just the same. I am a complete n00b about this stuff, so bare wi...

Port send and receive

So, I'm at the point in my project where I need to read and write from the port. SendAByte and Rec1stByte seem to be the system calls I want. The sdk83guide is pretty scarce on details as usual, but I am wondering if there is anything Latenite can do for debugging the port business. What are my opti...

Convert Key Code to Character Code

Is there any easy way to convert from the Key Code from GetKey to the character code for TI display (vputmap, etc.)? I have searched for a while and have not found a method. Of course, I'm doing a bit of a text editor routine and this is a must. I am about to do a mapping myself. I noticed two thing...

Re: 8k limit for ASM

Actually the best work-around for breakpoints choking up the TI operations on the same memory addresses is to drop in a bcall(_getKey) prior to a set of breakpoints and turn on break-on all break points while the calculator is waiting that keypress. Then press a key.

Re: 8k limit for ASM

The revised .debug fixed the issue. Thanks. >I used Latenite to teach myself C# My first C# apps were simple CRUD/reporting apps in aspx back in 2002. I hope that I have improved since then myself. This asm programming I am doing here is for a real project (pro bono, albeit), but I think it keeps me...

Re: 8k limit for ASM

Thanks a lot. I'll try this tonight.

Btw, was Latenite/Brass part of a job you were paid to do, or just your own thing? Side-work can be a bitch at times, especially one as big as this IDE and assembler.

Re: 8k limit for ASM

I ran a test project sucessfully with a larger 8xk file that just printed 'test' to the screen with a really big include file with just NOP's. Both this test project and mine are using the .defpage 0, 16*1024, $4000 ;Page 0 definition .page 0 What actually occurs with my actual project is that my ap...

Re: 8k limit for ASM

If I add just a little more code to my existing source it jacks up the emulator and the file size is at like 8 k (on disk). My approach will be what you suggest. I'll report back what I find with a single file source file demonstrating it. Might be my setup that is screwy, who knows. I am glad to he...

Re: 8k limit for ASM

Have your TI_83Plus apps written with Latenite/Brass gone beyond 8k?

Re: 8k limit for ASM

Thanks for replying.. This page is also pretty straight forward about 16k pages and how to work with branching even: http://benryves.com/bin/brass/tutorials/tiapps.htm I've got an app so far that has a nice dynamic commanding menu that scrolls and text wraps in small font and can highlight a selecte...

8k limit for ASM

Ok, have to say this is a little confusing. I have found that my application goes nutz when it is past 8k in size. I have re-read the "TI-83 Plus Developer Guide" section on page 120 which states the differences between ASM Programs and Applications where ASM has 8k limit and apps are 16k+...

Just a coding trick

Well, I don't know if this is a trick, but I'd like to get a little feed-back. Give me thumbs up, down or WTF is that for? I wanted an easy way to map menu item text strings with a routine AND I wanted the routines to be callable so they could just end with the "ret". This is the solution ...
