Requires, SD, ComboKeyboard, and Video

Commands: (Command-line support)

DIR = show files in Virtual Folder [F1 and % shortcuts to this]
DIR/W = show actual files on SD (wide display) [F4 and $ shortcuts to this]
DIR *.ext = show files by extension (type dir *.ext)
DEL = delete file (del filename)

REBOOT = Reboot the Propeller
COPY CON filename = Simple text file creator, exit with Control-Z on a blank line

ESC on boot will bypass PropDOS and start the file MENU.BIN from SD if it exists.
HELP = Display list of commands and credits. [? shortcuts to this]
LABEL <filename.ext> = Assign file to Virtual Folder (creates Virtual Folder if it does not exist.)
[NOTE: Virtual Folders are simply text files which can be edited.]
CD <VirtualFolder> = Moves view to Virtual Folder (Omit the .DIR when using this)
CD\ or CD.. = Moves from Virtual Folder to Virtual Root/Actual Root. (Depending on compile options)
[NOTE: In the upper DAT section, there is an option to select Virtual Root, or Standard Root for DIR.]

Download and copy the hmus files on the SD from Andrew's website, and they will load and play.
(Note: you may want to change the .hmus extension to 8.3 format, I used filename.hmu)
link to music: www.andrewarsenault.com/hss/hmedia.html

UPDATED: V1.7b
*This is the GET ORGANIZED Edition. :)

Added HELP,LABEL,CD\,CD..,LS, commands.
Assigned [F1] to display Virtual Folder.
Assigned [F4] to display all actual files on SD.
Added a PAUSE to DIR/W ([F4]) at each screenfull.
Removed RESUME command due to maxed ELSEIF usage.
VER command became HELP.
Fixed other minor issues.

NOTE
I've left the 1.6 version attached for those who want the older version.

Hey! that's really cool! :)
I'm working on an image compression format for the Prop too. So maybe we can add support for that later. ; )

Great work!

Andrew and I have been chatting about this.. Here's some detail I don't think
he'll mind my sharing to this thread..

Andrew said...

The first beta version of the module music format was .HMF which was short for (Hydra music format).
I changed the name over to .HMUS with the second version of the player.

.HMF had a different form of compression that wasn't as compacted as the currect .HMUS where ALL instrument commands and most note commands are only 1 byte long.


We came to the conclusion that the .hmu extension isn't a bad idea because of the 8.3 limitation in
the current SD module.

Here's a little toy to test out your PropDOS setup.

Extract and put both these files (binary & music) on your SD.
Startup PropDOS and type: spin swishsyn.bin

(of course play metroid.hmu does the same thing, but not as pretty..

Had some time to check this program out tonight. Ran it on my SpinStudio board with SD Adapter, Mouse/Keyboard adapter and audio/Video adapter installed. Ran flawlessly.

Nice work Jeff, Image display would be a great improvement, but it's great as is.

Would be nice to show new users what the Propeller can easily accomplish, barely flexing it's muscles though.

Thanks!

I've been considering something along the lines of a text editor for it next, but
image display would also be very cool. While the program is pretty lightweight,
I use quite a bit of byte space to load 4k-6k .hmus files. I'm considering a method
by which I can pass command-line data to binaries outside of the PropDOS module
itself. It would affect things like the music's ability to play in the background, but
would free up space for other cool features.

Yeah, once I get the Hybrid in I'll convert (Hss) over to it.
At the moment I'm guessing everything plays faster then it should because of the faster xtal xPLL configuration.

Tonal center isn't A=440hz +/- 0.005 cents either I'm sure! ;)

Sort of like the Amiga Trackers when using the VBI (Vertical Blank Interrupt) for music playback on PAL and NTSC systems. *since the speeds are different from the two TV standards (50hz / 60hz)*

something is wrong here: save target as gives you the opportunity to save 'attach.htm', clicking gives a 'something does not exist screen'

I've been begging the author of the SD routines to consider a CD command, but he's very busy..
(Perhaps we can come up with a good bribe.. :)

As for the schematics, I assume you mean the SD card? I've got all the schematics for the
required hardware in the Propeller Cookbook, which can be downloaded from www.uController.com

Hi,
 
Well, I'm trying to hook up a standard SD card on the demo board.
I cant seem to get it to work (my first time trying) I'm using PropDOS defaults
I have been working on this forever, I've tried everything...
 
Here's my pin config.
 
    SD Config --------
 
    | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    9
    --------------------
 
  SD Pin 9 (the one that drops down) NOT CONNECTED
  SD Pin 8 -> 10k pullup - > 3.3v
  SD Pin 7 -> 10k pullup - > 3.3v -> Prop P0
  SD Pin 6 -> vss
  SD Pin 5 -> 10k pullup - > 3.3v -> Prop P1
  SD Pin 4 -> vdd
  SD Pin 3 -> vss
  SD Pin 2 -> 10k pullup - > 3.3v -> Prop P2
  SD Pin 1 -> 10k pullup - > 3.3v -> Prop P3
 
  ---------------------
 
  Ok, I just noticed I didnot have my SD card pluged in all the way, Ha.. Ha..
  Now it is working just fine !
 
  These pinouts work correctly.
 
  So here's the info for someone who is new to SD cards. This works with the defaults
  in PropDOS
 
  I posted this because I've been trying to do it for 24 hours now... Ha.. Ha, Ha..
 
  This was much easier to use than DOSonChip!
 
 Thanks,
  -Areal
 
 
 
 
 

I have a tree growing out of my head, but
what do you expect ? I'm a programmer.

Thanks!

I did noticed one thing that DOSonaChip does that PropDOS doesn't; it has a time/date chip.

I was looking at the screen shots from their site. Perhaps I will adopt their directory
format when directories are supported on the SD driver. But for the moment,
I'm hunting for every extra long I have so I can drop that WAV file player in. :)

If you're really tight, I think you can reduce the buffersize even more (I think it works with buffersize=28). (I'm assuming you're talking about my WAV file player :)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking.. I'll try the reduced buffer size tonight, although
I may be able to simply reuse part of the one I'm using for the HMUS files since one
wouldn't be playing both at the same time.

This is healthy for me, as it will force me to tighten up my code... :)

KNOWN ISSUES:
HSS player will sometimes fail after a .wav has been played.

Try setting a flag for the wav player to know when to finish, so it can output a zero, and thus allow HSS to play again.

PropDOS gets fully colorized & font selectable on this release.. See top of thread for full details...

Also for purchasers of SpinStudio, PropDOS can be provided upon request.
This may save a few new users the immediate expense of a Propplug to get started.

As OldBitCollector mentioned, I will provide upon request a pre-programmed EEPROM with any SpinStudio purchase, free upon request. With PropDOS on board.

I like the idea of being able to compile programs into binaries, load to SD card, and run on a Propeller without the PropPlug. Yes, The PropPlug is easier when frequent changes are necessary. But for a beginner, they can try it out without an extra $30 outlay for the PropPlug.

It's nice to take things on the road too. Say for example you have a electronics club meeting and you want to bring it along, but want to show off multiple programs, just load them all onto your SD card and bring them all!
