I'm not as deep into the code as you guys, but on my ver 1.0 
prop i/o, I wanted a green/amber screen, like a CRT back in the day.
 
I only changed a few values in VGA_1024.spin and recompiled knowing
nothing about the language. Amber was a fail, but green looked ok and 
that's what I run now.

It's been so long I forgot how I did it, but here's a link;

Hi Dave, 


I found the escape codes for changing color of characters when using a VT100. I agree with you that BOLD, BLINKING , and UNDERLINE may not be possible, but it would be nice to add color selection. The codes that I found are: 


ESC[3(0-7)m for the color of the character, where the second number can be 0=black,1=red,2=green,3=yellow,4=blue,5=magenta,6=cyan,7=white. For the background the code is ESC[4(0-7)m with the second number having the same color sequence. I was able to check the escape codes on the TeraTerm which is setup for VT100. 


I do not understand the spin programs so I am not sure how to construct the case situation for the "m" modification of the color. If I can help that would be great. 


Thanks, 
Harold

Hi all, 


Just finished the propeller console IO board and I have it running with the 8080A CPU board with Josh's rev 2.4 ROM. I downloaded the firmware to run the screen and keyboard as a VT100 terminal. That works pretty well but some of the ESC codes for screen control don't work. Has anyone done any more programming through Parallax on the .spin programs? 


Just curious. 


Thanks, 
Harold
