Re: Prop I/O board - Cursor control and special functions

You would be best to look at the prop io code for the N8VEM EBC board. It has a complete ANSI terminal in the code. The code for the S100 board was early code I started and some one else copied but did not keep it up to date. Wayne Warthen (I believe that is his name) further enhanced the code I wrote (which did handle ansi cursor escape sequences) to fill out the full ansi definition I believe. I don't know when the code for the s100 board was copied but it is definitely an early version and not very well ported. I have been meaning to go in and fix the code and implement a higher res. display with say 100+ chars X 60+ lines but it has not made it to the top of my queue of things to do. Basically I would throw away what is there and re do it.

Hi Frank,

take a look at Briel Computers PockeTerm (Propeller based) on the link below, it seems to be a more fully implemented terminal from escape sequence/cursor control point of view, but shares some common files with the S100 Propeller board implementation.

Towards the bottom of the page you can download the current firmware that will open up in the Paralax Propeller IDE, this should help jump start you

Hello Ian,
i try to load ansi.sys, but the build in terminal emulation in the propeller firmware is not able to show the correct cursor control.
With loaded ansi.sys you get only characters in the upper left corner.
I think the first step is to get the ANSI cursor control in the propeller firmware.
