Re: Smart BASIC is discontinued
Hey, thanks for letting us know you have this back in the store! I moved my programs by pushing them all to DropBox in the old app, downloading them onto my desktop, opening each one to copy code and paste it on my device via the shared clipboard. Not super easy, but I won't complain. I'm just happy...

Re: Processor friendly waiting
Both will slow down your program, but only Slowdown will allow the device's processor to slow down.

Re: 4.8 version
It is much improved. The other day I used 15% of my battery while exercising. In the past I think it was much higher around 50%?

Re: 4.8 version
Yea! On my device now. A few programs are updated to take advantage of some of the new features. I'm particularly going to enjoy the SLOWDOWN command. I have an exercise tracking app that I wrote that spends most of it's time waiting for button presses. It can use up nearly half my battery in an hou...

Re: Processor friendly waiting
Thanks! Looking forward to it. This should be great to save our batteries until you can get the event driven stuff done.

Re: Processor friendly waiting
I would try a delay of 1/10 - 1/3 of a second. That way the loop would execute several times a second. Just a guess. I'd say try some values and see what seems responsive.

Re: Processor friendly waiting
Event driven would be the best! I'd love to be able to have code connected to a button directly somehow. If that takes a long time, maybe you could give us a FAST and SLOW command like the UNDERGROUND command that would cause the currently running program to run at full speed, or a slow speed that u...

Processor friendly waiting
I have an app where it loops waiting for a button press. If no button is pressed, there is nothing for it to do. Is there a better way to wait for a button press? It is using up a lot of battery waiting for the button press. I ran the app for around an hour last night, and Battery Usage shows smart ...
