I'll post a short video in the near future

Just posted a 3 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm7JaGQ36Jk of Kitbug+ and the LCDS

Brilliant, love it

Added a CS command, just a simple 'Clear Screen', thats all it does, it clears the Teraterm screen and presents the KitbugPlus prompt at the top-left (home) position.
Handy when the screen is full of clutter!

Thanks

Just added CS into the Kitbug+ Digital Clock

I've got the following Kitbug demos ready to run on LCDS at CfCH on Sunday.
LIFE
Digital Clock
Xmas Star
Elector Software Service Xmas carols

Are there any others I should have?

The only other I can think of is the trivial sine wave thing... bottom of my sc/mp page

(the RC2014 distribution includes this exact same thing in Nascom basic)
Will be great to see an LCDS, especially an LCDS in action

Are you taking anything else? I'll take the 'micro introkit'

If you are still planning to go tomorrow, I'd recommend buying a ticket online first as I was refused entry today as they said they weren't allowing 'walk-ins' because they were unusually busy! (With apparently others also turned away)
- Although they did say to me to 'come back tomorrow, when it would be less busy' (But not sure they could guarantee that?).

I'd previously mainly always gone on the Sunday of all-weekend events there, and never had any trouble before buying the ticket there (I think I only ever bought one in advance the first time I ever went, but then just bought one there as was the same price and had had no trouble doing that).
But I'd chosen to go today, to combine with visiting another exhibition that didn't open Sundays.

I've added an 'O' command to KitbugPlus, its an offset-calculator, handy when hand-coding and a jump offset needs to be worked out. The command works for forward or backward jumps, either within or across page boundaries (within the SC/MP constraints of course) . The docs are updated and I've included some examples: http://philg.uk

Very handy Phil, specially when programming without an assembler, which I do from time to time. Hope you will add some more handy features, there is still some space on the eprom!

From the MK14 FB group:
Kris Sekula has done a new PCB for the Micro introkit, very similar to Martins MK14 expansion PCB like mine, but with
proper onboard provision for the crystal, caps, reset button, FTDI etc which avoids all the wiring faff, just solder up and go!
Kris has kindly placed the files here on PCBway for anyone to use

I've ordered a batch of 5 to share. Thanks Kris!

Cheers
Phil
