When building the project using the default .spin files and latest (1.00.78 2016) version of OpenSpin I receive the following error,

Hi Marco ! Congrats for your excellent work! Really enjoying your Terminal with an SC126 RC2014 board. Only one question, how do I change the source code in vt100.spin to set a different color for the Foreground attribute ? I successfully changed the CTRL-F10 setup screen to green using $20 and $A0 instead of $70 and $F0 for text attributes, but didn´t find where to change the default color for the terminal text and cursor.

I´ll really appreciate if you can point me to the correct section of the code so I can make the change.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jose Luis.

Is it possible to implement a more standard VGA mode like 640x480@60.

For testing purposes really, I have two monitors that aren't supporting either mode. Oscilloscope readings of the vertical and horizontal sync look correct for both resolutions, as does the dot clock on the color lines.

I'm out of Monitors to try!

Thanks

I built the code changing the pins for the usb keyboard and serial to match the hobytronics board.. I was hoping I could turn that into this card for use on a single board computer.
it builds and loads but then the screen goes to sleep.. I dont have a keyboard or even usb header connected..

this is the schematic for there board. not much different from what I can tell. if I am missing something do you mind letting me know. Thank you . PS I have never used a propeller processor before.. so I am guessing..

lines I changed
vt100.spin
' ser.StartRxTx(8, 9, 0, 115200) changed for hobytronics
' debug.StartRxTx(31, 30, 0, 115200) changed for hobytronics
ser.StartRxTx(30, 31, 0, 115200)

and in USB_FS_HOST.spin

' modified for the Hobytronics serail_VGA from
' DMINUS = 1
' DPLUS = 0
DMINUS = 3
DPLUS = 4

Just to let you know that there is now a new version available which uses a real 9x16 font (liberated from some FON file). The colour blink attribute is currently MIA but can be brought back if necessary.

I'm using an RC2014 VGA Serial Console in a homemade CPU, and I am encountering a strange crash when trying to edit a particular text file. Here's a video demonstrating the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKDQznJkS2M

This happens reliably every single time I try to page down this file by 2 pages. Steps to reproduce (although nobody but me has this computer) are:

1. open hamurabi.sl in kilo (it only works for hamurabi.sl, and it only works in the text editor - catting it to the screen doesn't cause any problem - I haven't yet investigated what specifically about this source file is causing the problem).
2. scroll down twice (Ctrl-D, Ctrl-D)
3. the VGA console will crash, and the screen will probably turn off (occasionally it shows a green-and-yellow pattern instead of turning off).

I wonder how we would go about debugging this? I think a first step would be to capture the exact bytes that are transmitted and replay them using a USB serial cable and see if it still crashes it - that would rule out some hardware-specific timing problem and would allow others to reproduce the problem. I'll work on doing that.
