TinyBasic Plus
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
A C implementation of Tiny Basic, with a focus on support for
|
|
Arduino. It was originally written by Gordon Brandly in the form
|
|
of "68000 Tiny Basic", and then ported to C by Michael Field as
|
|
"Arduino Basic", though still called "Tiny Basic" in the source
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
TinyBasic Plus is an extension and modification upon the original
|
|
"Tiny Basic" by adding support for a few more devices, configurable
|
|
at build time. It is designed for use on the Arduino, although
|
|
builds will soon be easily possible for other platforms through
|
|
command line makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Features added include support for fileio (SD Library), autorunning
|
|
a program from the SD card, smaller footprint (PROGMEM), support
|
|
for pin data IO, and support for the on-chip EEProm storage for your
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
# Full list of supported statements and functions
|
|
|
|
## System
|
|
- BYE - *exits Basic, soft reboot on Arduino*
|
|
- END - *stops execution from the program, also "STOP"*
|
|
- MEM - *displays memory usage statistics*
|
|
- NEW - *clears the current program*
|
|
- RUN - *executes the current program*
|
|
|
|
## File IO/SD Card
|
|
- FILES - *lists the files on the SD card*
|
|
- LOAD filename.bas - *loads a file from the SD card*
|
|
- CHAIN filename.bas - *equivalent of: new, load filename.bas, run*
|
|
- SAVE filename.bas - *saves the current program to the SD card, overwriting*
|
|
|
|
## EEProm - nonvolatile on-chip storage
|
|
- EFORMAT - clears the EEProm memory
|
|
- ELOAD - load the program in from EEProm
|
|
- ESAVE - save the current program to the EEProm
|
|
- ELIST - print out the contents of EEProm
|
|
- ECHAIN - load the program from EEProm and run it
|
|
|
|
## IO, Documentation
|
|
- PEEK( address ) - *set a value in memory* (unimplemented)
|
|
- POKE - *get a value in memory* (unimplemented)
|
|
- PRINT expression - *print out the expression, also "?"*
|
|
- REM stuff - *remark/comment, also "'"*
|
|
|
|
## Expressions, Math
|
|
- A=V, LET A=V - *assign value to a variable*
|
|
- +, -, \*, / - *Math*
|
|
- <,<=,=,<>,!=,>=,> - *Comparisons*
|
|
- ABS( expression ) - *returns the absolute value of the expression*
|
|
- RSEED( v ) - *sets the random seed to v*
|
|
- RND( m ) - *returns a random number from 0 to m*
|
|
|
|
## Control
|
|
- IF expression statement - *perform statement if expression is true*
|
|
- FOR variable = start TO end - *start for block*
|
|
- FOR variable = start TO end STEP value - *start for block with step*
|
|
- NEXT - *end of for block*
|
|
- GOTO linenumber - *continue execution at this line number*
|
|
- GOSUB linenumber - *call a subroutine at this line number*
|
|
- RETURN - *return from a subroutine*
|
|
|
|
## Pin IO
|
|
- DELAY timems*- wait (in milliseconds)*
|
|
- DWRITE pin,value - *set pin with a value (HIGH,HI,LOW,LO)*
|
|
- AWRITE pin,value - *set pin with analog value (pwm) 0..255*
|
|
- DREAD( pin ) - *get the value of the pin*
|
|
- AREAD( analogPin ) - *get the value of the analog pin*
|
|
|
|
NOTE: "PINMODE" command removed as of version 0.11
|
|
|
|
## Sound - Piezo wired with red/+ on pin 5 and black/- to ground
|
|
- TONE freq,timems - play "freq" for "timems" milleseconds (1000 = 1 second)
|
|
- TONEW freq,timems - same as above, but also waits for it to finish
|
|
- NOTONE - stop playback of all playing tones
|
|
|
|
NOTE: TONE commands are by default disabled
|
|
|
|

|
# Example programs
|
|
|
|
Here are a few example programs to get you started...
|
|
|
|
## Blink
|
|
|
|
hook up an LED between pin 3 and ground
|
|
|
|
10 FOR A=0 TO 10
|
|
20 DWRITE 3, HIGH
|
|
30 DELAY 250
|
|
40 DWRITE 3, LOW
|
|
50 DELAY 250
|
|
60 NEXT A
|
|
|
|
## Fade
|
|
|
|
hook up an LED between pin 3 and ground
|
|
|
|
10 FOR A=0 TO 10
|
|
20 FOR B=0 TO 255
|
|
30 AWRITE 3, B
|
|
40 DELAY 10
|
|
50 NEXT B
|
|
60 FOR B=255 TO 0 STEP -1
|
|
70 AWRITE 3, B
|
|
80 DELAY 10
|
|
90 NEXT B
|
|
100 NEXT A
|
|
|
|
## LED KNOB
|
|
|
|
hook up a potentiometeter between analog 2 and ground, led from digital 3 and ground. If knob is at 0, it stops
|
|
|
|
10 A = AREAD( 2 )
|
|
20 PRINT A
|
|
30 B = A / 4
|
|
40 AWRITE 3, B
|
|
50 IF A == 0 GOTO 100
|
|
60 GOTO 10
|
|
100 PRINT "Done."
|
|
|
|
## ECHAIN example
|
|
|
|
Write a small program, store it in EEPROM. We'll show that variables don't
|
|
get erased when chaining happens
|
|
|
|
EFORMAT
|
|
10 A = A + 2
|
|
20 PRINT A
|
|
30 PRINT "From eeprom!"
|
|
40 IF A = 12 GOTO 100
|
|
50 PRINT "Shouldn't be here."
|
|
60 END
|
|
100 PRINT "Hi!"
|
|
|
|
Then store it in EEProm
|
|
|
|
ESAVE
|
|
|
|
Now, create a new program in main memory and run it
|
|
|
|
NEW
|
|
10 A = 10
|
|
20 PRINT A
|
|
30 PRINT "From RAM!"
|
|
40 ECHAIN
|
|
|
|
List both, and run
|
|
|
|
ELIST
|
|
LIST
|
|
RUN
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Device Support
|
|
## Current
|
|
- Arduino - ATMega 168 (~100 bytes available)
|
|
- Arduino - ATMega 368 (~1100 bytes available)
|
|
- SD cards (via SD Library, for FILES, LOAD, SAVE commands, uses 9k of ROM)
|
|
- EEProm (via EEProm Library, uses 500 bytes of ROM)
|
|
- Serial IO - command console
|
|
|
|
## Future
|
|
- PS2 Keyboard for standalone use (maybe)
|
|
- Graphics support via common function names and ANSI/ReGIS escape codes
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Known Quirks and Limitations
|
|
- If LOAD or SAVE are called, FILES fails subsequent listings
|
|
- SD cards are not hot-swappable. A reset is required between swaps.
