Self modifying code on basic stamp testing

MMISCOOL · 2005-11-24 04:31

heLLO, I RECENTLY MADE A PROGRAMING LANGUAGE FOR THE PC CALED SMBI (HTTP://SMBI.TRIPO.COM) AND HAVE RECENTLY FOUND MY SLEF INTERRESTED IN PUTING IT ON A WRIST WATCH. SMBI STANDS FOR SELF MODIFYING BASIC INTERPERTER. i JUST CREATED FROM SCRACH A VERSION FOR THE BASIC STAMP AND I NEED SOMEONE TO TEST IT BECOUSE OF LACK OF SERIAL PORTS AND ALL THE PLACES TO BUY AAPTERS CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND.EMAIL ME AT SMBI.SOFT@GMAIL.COM OR MMISCOOL@GMAIL.COM.

tHE ATACHED FILE IS THE INTERPERTER THAT REQUIERS THE EEPROM HOWEVER IF YOU EMAIL ME I WILL SEND YOU A VRSION THAT DOES NOT

And Here's The Above Message Not In CaPsLoCk
hello, i recently made a programing language for the pc caled smbi (http://smbi.tripo.com) and have recently found my slef interrested in puting it on a wrist watch. smbi stands for self modifying basic interperter. i just created from scrach a version for the basic stamp and i need someone to test it becouse of lack of serial ports and all the places to buy aapters closed for the weekend. if you want to test it and not put it on kazza nono email me at smbi.soft@gmail.com or mmiscool@gmail.com.

the atached file is the interperter that requiers the eeprom however if you email me i will send you a vrsion that does not

I would surmise the link was supposed to be: http://smbi.tripod.com/

Th OP is not verifying spelling or links in this case, and in fact this post was moved from the Projects forum.· If the OP doesn't read private messages either, then perhaps they aren't aware of it's new location.· Oh, and bear in mind, "[font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif color=black size=1]ALL DOWNLOADS COME WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHAT SO EVER!!!"· <---from the site[/font]

I find it interesting that you are trying to sell Open Office (http://coolsoftware4free.tripod.com/id7.html) yet you can get open office for free here: http://www.openoffice.org/ -

I also find it interesting that you are trying to sell software such as Mozilla (http://coolsoftware4free.tripod.com/id9.html) that is also free: (http://www.mozilla.org/)

Just keep in mind the GPL and definition of Open Souce:

http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

In addition to that you are trying to sell software for $399.95 that you are having members on these forums help you with. (Obviously it is not finished, and not in a state that it could be sold.)-

Please be sure that any software you sell is not in violation of copyright, GPL, Open Source, or any other license that it may be subject to.

PLEASE EXCUSE SPELLING ERORS.

GO AHEAD AND USE THIS CODE HOWEVER YOU WANT. IT IS NOT FINISHED. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF OF WORK ON IT SINCE I FIRST POSED IT. hERE IS THE CURENT. IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS USE IT FOR ANY THING YOU WANT.

THE SOFTWARE ON MY WEB SITE IS FOR WINDOWS. SMBI IS MY OWN CREATION.
SMALL SMBI IS JUST A LITLE PROJECT I STARTED ABOUT 3 OR FOUR DAYS AGOE.

IF ANY ONE WANTS TO HELP WORK ON IT LET EM HELP. ONCE I BUY ANOTHRER BASIC STAMP (CONSIDERING THE $30 OEM KIT) TO REPLAICE THE HOMEWORK BORD I BROKE I WILL GET RIGHT BACK AND START GETING THE HARDEWARE CONTROALES AND A 1 CHARACTER DISPLAY PROGRAMED I WILL TRY TO SQUEEZ IT IN TO THE SMALLEST PACAGE I CAN AND GET IN TO MAKING PROTOTYPES.

ALL THE SCEMATICS AND CODE WILL BE POSTED ON MY SITE ONCE I MAKE A PAGE FOR IT (SO THAT ANY ONE CAN MAKE ONE) AND ONCE I ACTUALY START GETING RUNIG ON STAMP HARDEWARE AND NOT CHEATING THRUE EDITING THE SOURCE CODE FOM ONE OF THE EXAPLE PROGRAMS IN THE VIRTUAL STAMP WORKS (VERY NICE PROGRAM BUT A LITLE HIGH IN COST). I WILL AFTER THAT IF I GET IT REALY WORKINH TRY TO SELL A COUPLE OF KITS AND MABE ONE OR 2 ASEMBLED WATCHES. MIGHT BE WORTH A TRY.

I MAKE A BIG DISTINCTION BETWEEN SMBI AND SMALL SMBI. SMBI WAS SOMETHING I CAME UP IN A BORING MATH CLAS AND I WROTE DOWN ON PAPER. IF ANY ONE WANTS TO TEST A COPY PLEASE EMAIL ME @ MMISCOOL@GMAIL.COM . I WILL SEND YOU A FREE COPY BECOUSE IT IS IN TESTING STAGES. I LIST ON MY WEB SITE THAT IT IS BETA SOFTWARE.

ALSO THE GPL AND GNU ALOW'S ANY ONE TO COPY, MODIFY AND SELL THE SOFTWARE AS LONG AS IT STILL RETANES IT'S ORIGINAL LICENS AGREEMENT IE.
"You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

*You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. *" (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). THE STUF I SELL ON MY WEB SITE COMES ON A CD SO I AM IN COMPLYANCE WITH THE GNU.

THE BELOW IS THE CURENT VERSION OF SMBI SMALL. GO AHEAD AN DO ANY THING YOU WANT USING IT SHORT OF HURTING ANY ONE.

You must include the source, and state that the software being sold is under the GPL or Open Source. It does not state that anywhere on your site.

I still am wondering why you are trying to sell software that isn't finished yet? (Your code, you've stated here several times, isn't finished. Yet it is for sale on your site.)

BIG DIFORENCE BETWEEN THE CODE HER AND THE SMBI ON MY WEB SITE. SMBI ON MY WEB SITE IS A WINDOWS PROGRAMING LANGUAG WITH A COMPILER.

SMALL SMBI (THIS IS FOR THE BASIC STAMP) IS JUST A LITLE PROJECT.

And perhaps you could keep everything in one thread -- it looks like you've got the same thing in three places.

FWIW, the intention of the boilerplate of the GPL allows for charging a NOMINAL fee for the duplication of the software. This was intended to allow the duplicator to recoup a pittance for their time and material...not as a "development fee". The other "charge" you pointed out is that for providing warranty service...this is one of the ways that Red Hat makes their money...

It is also my understanding, that if any of the GPL (or similarly licensed) tools were used to create YOUR product, it is also subject to being offered under the GPL, including being made available for free, with source code.

Thus if you used something like gcc to create your SMBI, while you can indeed sell the product for any price you can get, you are also obligated to provide it, and the source code, free of charge.

Guys. GPL is not the center of this topic. Let's get off of it

To reduce your code size and make your program faster you can use arrays instead of separate variables.

Your code:


A VAR Byte
B VAR Byte
C VAR Byte
D VAR Byte
E VAR Byte
F VAR Byte
G VAR Byte
H VAR Byte
I VAR Byte
J VAR Byte

EDIT_VAR:
IF DD = "A" THEN EE = A
IF DD = "B" THEN EE = B
IF DD = "C" THEN EE = C
IF DD = "D" THEN EE = D
IF DD = "E" THEN EE = E
IF DD = "F" THEN EE = F
IF DD = "G" THEN EE = G
IF DD = "H" THEN EE = H
IF DD = "I" THEN EE = I
IF DD = "J" THEN EE = J
RETURN

Using arrays


A_J VAR Byte(9)

EDIT_VAR:
IF DD >= "A" AND DD<= "J" THEN EE = A_J(DD-65)
RETURN

That only uses one line of code and allows for commands "A" through "Z" of course adding other if/then code you can handle "a" through "z" , "0" thru "9" etc...
The ascii code for the letter A is 65 so subtracting 65 from the value in DD you get 0 as a pointer to the first element of the A_J array

I have a question on your windows SMBI , what language did you use to write the code?
You may also be interested in a project called freebasic at http://www.freebasic.net/ for windows, it's a really nice basic compiler based on qbasic style.

I wrote the windows version of smbi in liberty basic. I did use arays in it and files. That helps alot when you have the resources of a computer. If you want a copy i can give you one.

thank you for reminding me that i can use arays to store data. i forgot about that.
