Program to Display data on screen

Philldapill

What's this program called? I've never gotten around to using it, but since I am without a TV or other output device, I think I might try it. The program I'm speaking of allows you to display data from the Propeller on the screen. No, not ViewPort, although I salivate at the thought of having that.

Anyone know what I am thinking of? It's a console-like program...

Rich, I think that's the one. However, how do you use it? What object transmits to the program?

Serial Objects.

I use FullDuplexSerial to transmit to BST's serial terminal.

I like to use FullDuplexSerialPlus for transmitting to a terminal (via prop-plug). Here is the parallax serial terminal download link: http://www.parallax.com/tabid/442/Default.aspx

You have to have a crystal to use it. Here is some sample code.

CON
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000                      
  _clkmode = xtal1 | pll16x
OBJ
  debug  : "FullDuplexSerialPlus"
PUB Main
  debug.Start(31, 30, 0, 57600) 
  waitcnt(clkfreq*6 + cnt) 'wait for you to switch over to the parallax serial terminal
  repeat
    debug.str(string("Hello World!"))
    debug.tx(13)                'CR
    waitcnt(clkfreq + cnt)

Cool thing about BST (on a Mac anyway), you can skip that line - no need to switch over. It happens automatically.

How about Ariba's PropTerminal. Plays well with the Prop Tool and does colour text and limited graphics. Also has a file download mode.
