[Contest Entry] Spinneret Embedded BASIC (PE-BASIC)

JUDGES: I have attached my entry to this post.

I have made my embedded BASIC work on the spinneret thru TELNET.

You will have to open this .pbas file in BST and go to about line 366 to change the spinneret settings (MAC, GATEWAY, Etc).

To get telnet on a windows computer, go to the control panel, then "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and features" then look for a link that says "Turn Windows Features On/Off" and click on it. In there you will see "Telnet Client" check the box beside it. After it installs go to a command prompt and run TELNET then at the "Microsoft Telnet>" prompt type in the letter o a space and the IP address of your spinneret. After connection press ENTER to ge the OK prompt.

If you want to try it on my Spinneret Telnet to pebasic.com

Original Embedded BASIC thread http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?123678-Embedded-BASIC-interpreter

Here is a demo program to flash the orange LED: 
10 HIGH 23
20 PAUSE 100
30 LOW 23
40 PAUSE 100
50 GOTO 10

This is a contest entry so comments and suggestions are more than welcome...

    Oh, and I discovered you can use the old Ascii escape sequences.
    Try this: 
    10 CLS
20 FOR a=31 TO 37
30 DISPLAY 27:PRINT "[";a;"m";
40 PRINT "Testing..."
50 NEXT a

    Bean, I tried it and it works great. Took me a minute to remember the telnet commands, but the basic was easy enough to figure out. Good job!

    @Tumbler, Thanks. I'll look into the LOAD SAVE issue.

    The module has been running without problems for over 24-hours. If you can't connect it's because someone else if already connected. This has happened to me several times now.

    Thanks.

    BTW I fixed the LOAD / SAVE issue, so it should be working properly now.

    If you connect, please feel free to change the program or even write a new one if you want.

    If you type ... telnet 173.67.187.91

    ...you should be in and able to get right to Bean's BASIC.

    type ... list

    ... for example to see the program that someone left before you.

    Enter a simple line numbered basic program and type RUN to see it execute.

    FYI) opening Putty.exe in telnet or even Raw mode also works.

    I installed/enabled Telnet on my laptop(Vista w/ WiFi) Worked great.

    I have a test bed set up to see if I can get to the Spinneret from work across the www. Can't wait to try it out.

    This is really amazing!

    Run telnet, help for the menu, then "o 173.67.187.91"

    Works from here in Australia. You can edit the program, run it etc. And I gather this is just a little board with a spider on it, sitting on a cat5 cable?

    Tumber,
    Hmmm. I not sure what is going on that causes this...

    I'll have to wait until I get home from work to reboot it.

    @Bean
    I left an example that I remembered from my Timex Sinclair days.
    Is there a way to list saved progs?
    All I could get was the last one I saved.
    I did that with ubuntu10.10. Kind of cool to run something like that remotely.

    It worked fine for me. I would suggest that you print something on login, such as "Welcome to PE-BASIC 1.xxx". You may also want to implement an exit command. I had to use ctrl+] to get out.

    Tumbler,
    I'm not sure why...But sometimes you need to try it twice. It usually connects right away the second time. I'll look into the issue.

    I have the latest version of PE-Basic on my spinneret.

    You can use: TELNET 173.67.187.91
    to use it.

    Please let me know how it work. My entry needs to be in by the end of this month.

    Questions and comment are welcome...

    P.S. Dave do you know what I need to do to terminate the connection ?

    Bean,

    Made a quick visit. Listing, running, etc was very responsive. I need to read up more on PE-BASIC syntax and commands before I can do more. My BASIC is rusty!

    Very nice work Bean.

    Looks very stable.

    Try hit the 'X' :)

    Tumbler,
    It does it stuck sometimes (the parser stops working) and I just haven't been able to figure out what causes it.
    I end up having to reset the spinneret.

    I think you just need to close the TCP connection.

    @Bean,

    Do you mind if I include a section on this in my in progress Spinneret publication?

    Jeff,
    Not at all. Please include it.

    P.S. I just loaded a new version of PE-BASIC on the spinneret that includes a HELP command. It's not much, but it should help.

    I took some good advice from another thead and went ahead an got the domain name pebasic.com for this project.
    So now you can just use: TELNET pebasic.com

    Sorry to bump this, but I'll be away all weekend camping with no internet access.
    I didn't want my entry to get pushed too far down that the judges wouldn't find it.

    Has anyone tried PEBasic on their spinneret ? Just wondering...

    I have loaded it and played. I'm going to load it up on one of my two and expose it - at least expose it to the home network. I may still be having port forwarding issues. It's great having a propr on a network that you can log into and program. This goes for the PropFORTH IPServer version also. I can see both of these used in remote configurations.

    Great job, Bean!!! Happy camping!!
