Re: Programming for button release

Thank you for those details. I have a routine which scans the button and toggles its function. But if I couldn’t detect the button release then it would just keep scanning and toggling extremely rapidly. So I used this routine: IF BUTTON_PRESSED("E") THEN p=1 WHILE p=1 ' wait for button release p=BU...

Re: Programming for button release

BUTTON_PRESSED means BUTTON_was_PRESSED rather than BUTTON_is_PRESSED I think I am not clear on how buttons operate: Exactly what do you mean "button WAS pressed"? When was the button pressed? When does it no longer indicate that it is pressed? ( i.e. expression returns "0"). I have assumed that wh...

Re: Programming for button release

I was looking for Examples (and the file) on the forum, instead of the device. I found it now. Thank you

Re: Programming for button release

How do you find examples/music&sound/synthesizer.txt? I have been going around in circles for 15 min trying to get it. When I think I've almost got it it's not there and I end up going back to Board Index. Are there instructions somewhere how to find things on the Forums?

Programming for button release

I want to program a button so that after it is pressed nothing actually happens until the button is released. (Then I could time how long it was pressed, so as to avoid accidental taps.) But it appears that BUTTON_PRESSED doesn't work a second time until it has been released. I tried the following c...

Re: Copy files between BASIC v6 and other apps

I have managed to upload a BASIC folder to Dropbox. However, I don't seem to get the same screen as shown in the video. I don't get a Download option. In any case, the Share option in SB-6 only has the choice of saving TO the files folder, not loading FROM the Files folder. I have transferred a numb...

Re: Copy files between BASIC v6 and other apps

In the video "get from dropbox.mp4" I get the whole collection of smart BASIC files from Dropbox to the new application "BASIC".] There is no Share option in BASIC 5.8. BASIC does not show in my Files folder. How do you get it there? The Browse button in Files doesn't do anything. BASIC does not sh...

Re: Smart BASIC is discontinued

My BASIC programs don't shown up in my File Manager folder. How do you get them there? I have copied/pasted the text of a couple into the new BASIC, but it's a bit tedious for dozens of files.
Also, for some unknown reason, my iPad will not play the "how-to" video.

Re: Smart BASIC is discontinued

Glad to be notified of this update of this excellent program, although any bugs I ever came across have been fixed. I have downloaded it already. I too am awaiting word on importing programs from the old version. Copy/Paste will be very tedious for the dozens of programs I have written. Also I am al...
