PicoCalc6.01.00RC21 With Pico2 Compile

Here’s the latest RC21 of the PicoCalc software. It includes a pre-compiled Pico2 version.

PicoCalc 6.01.00RC21

Here’s the change for this version (on PicoCalc, this really doesn’t save you anything since F6 is shifted anyway):

The in-built editor is very useful and personally I use it most of the time 
rather than using a PC based approach. Two things have always irritated 
me though: first, having to use shift-F3 to repeat a search and second, 
no replace function. I was musing on this in bed as you do (sad I know  ) 
when I realised that with a particular approach it should be easy to 
implement replace functionality without risking the stability of the editor 
so RC21 contains the editor enhancements as follows:

You can now use SHIFT-F3, ctrl-G, OR F6 to get the next match

If you then use SHIFT-F5, ctrl-I or F8 the system will replace the 
search target string with the contents of the paste buffer.

That works but requires you to have copied something into the paste 
buffer using the usual F4/F5 mechanism

So, having just done a search using F3 etc. you can now press SHIFT-F4, 
ctrl-F, or F7 and this will open a dialog allowing you to directly enter a 
string into the paste buffer and on pressing return, replace the search 
target string.

This is much simpler than that explanation made it seem.

Suppose you want to replace every occurrence of GP0 with GP6 then 
you can proceed as follows:
F3 - enter GP0 'define the search target and find the first occurrence
F7 - enter GP6 'define the replacement string and do the first replacement
repeat until you get a not found message
 F6 ' find next
 F8 ' replace next
end repeat

Does not work for me. It only shows continuous IIIIIIII on the display.

Did you use the pre-compiled version or compile it yourself?

I used the pre-compiled version. I tried also flash_nuke before.

IIIIIIII is an I2C error, the rest of the message is not printed

Where do I find the pre-compiled version? Is it part of the zip archive? Is it the uf2 named PicoMite?

Yes, it’s in the ZIP file. It’s not working for some people, though. Please do a backup before trying it.
