you also need to put i2c_io_bin in the same folder
and the result should look like this ;

Getting this..

Using miniconfig_bas from tk disk.
AFAIK minicomfig_bas is intended to be compiled and need some toolkits.
In the Minerva utils there is also a miniconfig_obj that is the _bas file compiled and no need anything more.
Try to execute it with ex.

HI Alvaro, thank you for the reply.
Indeed I tried the _obj as well but still getting an error..
At the beggining I tought would be headers missing due to unziping as I couldnt remenber how I had created the TK disk, but after properly creating an new one error is still there.
(I am also using your minitrump (tc2.19) which comes with tk2.26)
. I2C_IO is present on flp1_ as well
. looks like both the compiled and the _bas version fail at the same point

Hi,
your configuration program can not find the I2C_IO file.
Look at the error line and change the file path to suit.
The miniconfig_bas program from the Minerva Utilities disk, requires the resident extension: I2C_IO_BIN to be on the FLP1_ disk.
The compiled version is not really required, as the Superbasic version will do the job.

- I2C_IO_BIN IS on flp1_
- the line referenced in the error is this one:
Code: Select all
1140 SELect l=1TO 32764:RETurn I2C_IO(CHR$(164)&CHR$(a)&rl$(l-1)&CHR$(188)&CHR$(255),l,80,1)
- I have tried changing the path to flp1_I2C_IO and flp1_I2C_BIN -same error
- Also tried using data_use to point to flp1_ -same error
Perhaps I am missing some basics? Not the most savvy ql user here tbh.

Try unremarking line 50 maybe (and put the line 1140 you changed back as it was)? This seems to load the file
50 REMark a=RESPR(202):LBYTES flp1_i2c_io_bin,a:CALL a
to
50 a=RESPR(202):LBYTES flp1_i2c_io_bin,a:CALL a

Unfortunately same result. Somehow it is failing to execute i2c_io

LRESPR flp1_i2c_bin before lrun flp1_miniconfig_bas did the trick...ty all for the inputs
