Is it now the $00/$FF problem we need to solve, or something else ?
Edit : Not sure I'll be able to change DMD_Creator soon. I've not got VB on my Win 10 machine, and can't find my VB 6 installation disk.
The $00/$FF problem isn't a major problem for now, just something to keep an eye on when we try frames that are almost full of $FF data. ( i know it'll bite us later).
For now we can continue with simple frames/animations to keep debugging the next step of adding more animation frames etc.
(i think a previous post of yours refers to a 24 frame animation system).
I think we were happy with the current animation speed of the 4 frames, and lots of code was trimmed and 16Mhz resonators were fitted last time to dramatically increase the overall speed.
I think the next step was heading towards using the 4 slots for better speed performance? or was it for storing more anim frames?
Ultimately, the next BIG step, was to store anim data into flash eeprom like a 24L256 etc, and being able to load different frames/anims into the driver picaxe when needed.
Obviously the different anims would be loaded based on some kind of trigger from external switches/sensors etc, but that's a while away ;-)
