Poking to RAM

[russbow]

I am using a 18m2 and need to store values in RAM so that I can use the variables again.
I would like to find an easier way to do this..

poke $60,b11: poke $61,b12: poke $62,b7: poke $63,b8

note the variables are not sequential.

This will need to be done a number of times, each time to sequential RAM addresses but never with sequential variables.

Is there an easier way of doing it. I have tried starting with bptr=$60 'point to first RAM location and then totally got lost in for / next sequences.

Have a look at 'push' and 'pushram'.

Buzby, I can't find either of those in manual 2

Click on "Basic Commands" from the top menu above

Thank you. Completely new to me but alas X2 parts only ?

Guess not for 18m2

I have been meaning too try using Eprom memory for a while...
I have dodged learning it because of code..
Can we have an example when you have cracked it?
Ordering some tomorrow ��

Ooops !. Sorry I missed you were on an M.

One other idea is to use peek/poke WORD, as this means less typing !

 

[russbow]

because the variables are not always sequential I cant use WORD.

I was trying to adapt this from manual 2 as a sort of array

ptr = 1 ‘ reset scratchpad pointer to 1
for b1 = 1 to 5
sertxd (@ptrinc) ‘ re-transmit those 5 values
next b1

Looks like I'll have to type the long winded way

Hi,

If the variables are non-sequential, then I think the best you can do (for your example) is :

poke $60,b11,b12,b7,b8

Or the equivalent using bptr is:

@bptrinc = b11 : @bptrinc = b12 : @bptrinc = b7 : @bptrinc = b8

Cheers, Alan.

Alan, thanks. The first line you suggest is so simple. Duh

 

[russbow]

And thank you too SRNET.

I use that with the WRITE command, never thought of POKE.

Well, checkout the manual for a clue ....................
