Prof. Richter or dr. mabuse, I've been looking at wigglyman1.bas and can't figure out exactly what CALCRAND does. I'm guessing that it seeds RANDOM from a timer, but I can't find any other reference to TCNT in the source or the ATOM-Pro manual. Care to elaborate? Many thanks. Woody

Hi Woody CALCRAND is exactly as you say, seeding the RAND function from a 16MHz real-time clock in the TCNT reserve word. (Grant may want to tweak this response as he wrote CALCRAND) but, as far as i know, TCNT is only documented the Hitachi manual. You may notice that the initialize section of WigglyMan1 is extended beyond the previous 2-line section. These initialization statements are the configs required to start the clock running. best, -doc --- In SynthModules@yahoogroups.com, "Woody Wall" <woody_wall@h...> wrote:

Thanks. I suspected as much. This should make it easier to generate larger amounts of random numbers. I've noticed some patterns after calling RANDOM a large number of times.

Not sure if this for the same chip as in the PSIM (there are dozens of variations on the H8) but it looks pretty close: http://www.renesas.com/avs/resource/japan/eng/pdf/mpumcu/e602202_h83664.pdf I found an assembly manual also, but I'm not sure if the ATOMPro allows inline assembly: http://www.renesas.com/avs/resource/japan/eng/pdf/mpumcu/e602053_h8300h.pdf Watch out for Yahoo! wrapping the lines.

Here is what Nathan at Basic Micro told me. The full set of register names are reserved keywords already built into the compiler. Register names are implemented, but not all bit names, because they are not unique. To access bits use the "BITx" modifier. --- In SynthModules@yahoogroups.com, Mark Pulver <mark@m...> wrote:

I had never considered that your name might be a pseudonym, but I dusted off an old CD last night and lo, there was a song entitled "Dr. Mabuse." A-ha! Further research (read "Googling") revealed a deeper mystery. So, we're on to your little game, now, Mister Whatever-your-real-name-is. Muah-ha-ha-ha!!! *** -- john *** (That's "evil laughter," and yes, I'm being silly. Fritz Lang made a couple of "Dr. Mabuse" films, which presumably inspired the song.)

Ok This is blatantly off topic and unsolicited but I'm going to do it anyway Drmabuce is a misspelling of Dr. Mabuse (because somebody beat me to it on yahoo) I am not a doctor and any medical advice I dispense should be regarded with great skepticism. It is a nickname . My real name is Mike Murphy but there are thousands of Mike Murphys. It's kind of a celtic version of the "Bob Johnson" syndrome. I first heard the name Doctor Mabuse in college on an LP by the Roto Rooter Goodtime Christmas Band. There is a break in a fairly conventional salsa number then you hear a nasal voice say: Ladies & Gentlemen .. Doc-torrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maBUSE! Followed by the most amazing deconstruction of the tenor sax timbre like 48 diesel airhorns in a shouting match. Lordy Day! I was in love! Fast forward to 1989 and Iwas recruited by a band that traditionally used stage names and there was no question in my mind who I wanted to be: Dr Alphose Caspar Mabuse. And it `stuck' most people in the local music scene have never known me as anything but `doc' It was only AFTER I adopted the stage name that I saw the German expressionist films. (I don't look like him either) so there! That'll teach ya to stray off topic in THIS forum Salut! -`doc' --- In SynthModules@yahoogroups.com, "john mahoney" <jmahoney@g...> wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "drmabuce" <drmabuce@y...> > > [snip] > > best, > > -doc > > Okay, "Doc," the gig is up!
