GDMike Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 There's so much to do. I'm not wanting to use all of SAMs for user data, I'd like to reserve some for program space. I'm almost maxed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Can 2 PAB buffers share the same Address when there is only one using the buffer? Edited January 28, 2021 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do pretty much whatever you want. It is a matter of order of events. Obviously, you cannot use the same buffer to read from 2 files before you do anything with what is in the buffer because the second file read would overwrite the first, But, if you use the buffer to read data from file #1 and store it from there to somewhere else (presumably RAM), you can then use that buffer to do the same thing for file #2—of course, storing file #2’s data to a different RAM location. ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Ok.. because I'm using, or was using my TIpi clock buffer address>1000 and the clock doesn't run when file processing takes place anyway, so I thought I might be safe using that buffer for both, the file process and tipi clock. This way, I don't have to create another buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Text mode (what you are using),there is VRAM space at >0460 – >07FF (928 bytes) that is just sitting there free for the taking. ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Value Stack is in that area. I do not know that you are using any functions that need it, though. I think all GPL floating point operations use it, but I do not what else may. ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMike Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I had to stop, disabled wifi with RFKILL on the raspberry pi because I saw my network for the laptop reaching the tipi was slow.... especially during assembling, so I then found I had a cable problem that I needed to fix first.geees... Well, I've got a wifi extender but it doesn't do a good job at night..well, it's usually at night when I have connectivity issues... But all fixed and I'll just stay on the LAN. My phone seems to do ok on the wifi. Edited January 29, 2021 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMike Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Well, when it rains it pours. Now this time after compiling, and everything was running just fine and dandy, the clock was working and I was saving files. Then, of course I went to show it off to someone and powered everything back on. This time, the clock froze.. Over and over, I recompiled, looking at code, changing PAB addresses.etc... Then it worked again with an old copy of the folder recompiled. Then I shut everything down and up again, and no worky again. I swapped out the computer and wholla, works every time.. It seems that the power supply switch is loose on this other computer as, now the switch won't stay in the on position. I think I remember something about these switches being easy to wear out.. But compared to this other computer, this power switch now is very firm compared to that other one big difference and the program runs without any issues now. Here's a map I found btw.

GDMike Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 I'm still having issues this morning. Booting everything up, I run SNP and I hang each time when I tried loading the clock. Btw, the clock runs fine in basic. I shut everything down last night and brought everything up and ran SNP and the clock was fine. So I reseated everything this morning after my first lockup, and removed cards, connections, and still getting locked only while accessing the clock. Still troubleshooting..

GDMike Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Nope, it happened again. I recall this all started happening after I changed the fan on my pi a week or so ago, I was using an external power supply from the Peb to power the fan for my pi, but I switched to a self powered fan, then a couple days after that my display on my monitor for the pi started going bazerk, flickering, so I googled that and it says it's insufficient power to the pi, so I swap power supplies for the pi, things cool down for a bit a couple days went by, three days maybe, and then I couldn't get the tipi to function, I couldn't see the tipi on my t i console, so I thought it was a connection to the side of the console so I had reseated all the cards, reconnecting that side port connector rebooted and the pi was visible again to the tipi, and all was good, and tell recently so what I did now is I ran external power back to the raspberry pi fan and pulled it off of the internal pinouts of the pi. So far things are back to normal. This raspberry pi is only 6 mo. Old,(Happy birthday pi)..so wow..

GDMike Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Narrowed down the problem to a file. So I may have had two issues going on at once. I pulled an old file and replaced one of a newer dated one, and I haven't seen any issues. So I'm looking into that particular file too..weird stuff.. but I think I'm on top of it. Fortunately, my latest files covering PABs and filing aren't suspect any longer and I can keep those new files.
