General Discussion / Re: Can Stdin be non-blocking?
Last post by Vectrex32 - September 18, 2020, 12:31:20 PMI'm sorry I didn't respond to this earlier. I usually get notifications when a new thread is posted. I don't know why I didn't this time. Thanks for pinging me with an e-mail.
Currently, there's no way to "peek" at whether there's a character available on stdin. But I might be able to add it as a feature. Can you tell me more about your application?

Last post by Vectrex32 - September 17, 2020, 03:04:57 PMNo charge. In fact, I'm sorry this didn't occur to me earlier. I'm not sure if it's mentioned anywhere in the docs, but I just added it to the Quick Start Guide.
Should I return the V32 to the PO box on your return address label?

Last post by Ianoid - September 17, 2020, 02:39:54 PMUm, no. I did not know I needed to have a Vectrex nearby to power the cart for USB connection.
Sorry if this is spelled out obviously. I guess you can just send the cart back. Happy to reimburse for shipping, just email me an invoice if you wish.

Last post by Vectrex32 - September 17, 2020, 02:13:57 PMI just got your Vectrex32 and the USB is working fine for me.
I just had a thought: did you have the V32 plugged into a Vectrex and the Vectrex turned on? Because the V32 does not get power from the USB; it only gets power from the Vectrex. So you need to have it plugged into a Vectrex and turned on, for a Mac or PC to see it.

General Discussion / Can Stdin be non-blocking?
Last post by Miasma - September 11, 2020, 11:02:40 AMI've been trying to make a loop to read from Stdin, using FGetc(Stdin), but it seems to be blocking. Is there a non-blocking way I can read data from the terminal input?
I'm working on making a MIDI input (MIDI over serial) to the Vectrex so it can be used as an instrument.

Last post by Ianoid - September 05, 2020, 06:51:57 PMFix or replace please. Definitely happy to have one of these. Mailing is no big deal for me, don't worry about a refund, costs me $3.50 to mail in a little box. I'll ship in in the next few days.
I went and downloaded as much software as I could from the forum, but feel free to throw as much software as you can or want onto the cart!

Last post by Vectrex32 - September 05, 2020, 06:28:27 PMYeah, I just noticed today that the forum was down. Sorry. Next time it happens (which will hopefully be never) send me a message through the Contact link.
This is definitely sounding like a problem with the V32. If you send it back to me, I'll either fix it or replace it (or refund your money, if that's your choice). I'll also refund you $10 for your return shipping.
My address is:
Bob Alexander
398 Bow Lake Road
Northwood, NH 03261
I'm sorry for the trouble.

Last post by Ianoid - September 05, 2020, 06:19:19 PMTried to reply a week or so ago but the forum was down.
I tried multiple USB cables and multiple Macs, but it was not recognized.
I then tried a Windows 10 PC with multiple USB cables, but the cart was never recognized there either. I even restarted the PC with the cart connected, but it does not seem to recognize it.
The cart does work fine on a Vectrex (with whatever files it ships with). I would like to add files to the cart to check out some of the fine work people have been doing with it.

Last post by Ianoid - August 19, 2020, 11:44:26 AMThanks for looking into it.
I'm running the current OS which is Catalina 10.15.6 on a 2015 iMac.
I'll try your suggestion.
