Re: Large Text in 3.5" monitor.

Hi All fxm, I have never ventured to the "Edit Notifications Options" Just always made sure when replying to a post (or starting a new thread) that "Notify me when a reply is posted" is ticked. Lately that doesn't work. This morning I simply ticked every box in the second column ...

Re: Show Application in CLI

Hi All
badidea, that was my first thought and I compared my statements with the post.
Perhaps it is time our forum had some way of verifying upon joining.

Haven't joined for a long time, so don't know what the procedure is.

Re: Mosquito MQTT header

Thank you birosys

I did see the mosquitto_loop option , but it is still polling.
It is probably better/faster than my polling using pipe..

Your code worked perfectly.

Re: Mosquito MQTT header

Hi All birosys, it looks like you have done a lot of work on this. Did you manage to use an interrupt to prevent the subscriber from polling for new messages ? I can't seem to find any options in Mosquitto to do this. Currently I am using Mosquitto on a Rpi-Zero as the broker and a Pico as the only ...

Re: [offtopic]Some cheap and tiny ARM devices.

Hi All

I have had a Pine Phone for two years now (with Mobian) and still can't rely on it as a daily phone.
Have updated and upgraded the software repeatedly, although cheap , not worth it in the end.

Show Application in CLI

Hi All I have installed Debian Bookworm OS Lite 64 bit on the Rpi . The idea is to run my Battery Monitor in the cli on a minimal system. It is text based output. No Desktop manager or Xserver etc. So, if I wait for the boot to finish and then type the command at the prompt, the program 'appears' to...

Re: Undefined reference AGAIN

Hi All

OK, so I did not relate writing a sub with the term "Defining a sub"
In other words writing the subroutine should be called Defining the sub.

But if my reckoning is correct, then you are right, the sub was not defined, because the name at the Define point was corrupted.

Re: Undefined reference AGAIN

Hi All Are you expecting that sub to be defined in a library? No, it is just a sub and not even a Function. All that should be required is to Declare the Sub and then call the sub, which is what I am doing. Just to prove that I made another sub and called it Test1 and declared it. Then commented out...

Hi All Modified my Battery charger application by adding a simple Sub. It is a single .bas file 650 lines long with includes noted at the top: #include once "includes/pigpio.bi" #include once "includes/declares.bi" #include once "includes/myTypes.bi" #include once "...
