Doesn't really matter what language you're coding in, though the more limited, the more the challenge, and thus the more satisfaction when you see it working ^^ And of course... if you make... say... "State of the Art" for the C=64 utilising only C=64 BASIC, your epeen will grow to extreme proportions :P |

true, I have been most chuffed when I've accomplished something the language I've used isn't supposed to be able to do! (Usually a BASIC!)

Which free BASIC that runs under LINUX fore my Raspberry Pi?
Having got my Raspberry Pi up and running, I was hoping (as a 74 year-old) to be able to draw on past experience so as to be able to drive the GPIO in BASIC. However I quickly discovered that bwBASIC does not have the necessary PEEK and POKE statements and GWBASIC only handles 8 bit registers.
Is there a BASIC which will run under the Raspberry Pi version of LINUX and which will enable me to load 32 bit registers having 32 bit Adresses? |

I am not an expert on the Raspberry Pi, and not really Linux either, but as far as I can imagine, you can't have old-style PEEK and POKE commands in a program running on Linux. Each of the programs will have a virtual address space and can't operate on the actual physical addresses directly - any access to peripherals would have to go through the operating system (Linux).
This is not to say that a Basic interpreter that emulates this behaviour somehow might not exist, but I don't know of such a thing at least. |

Thanks very much ajk. I have had some great advice from posters on my ybw.com forum (Practical Boat Owner!) and they have explained that I need to "export" the GPIO pins with a bit of LINUX. Then I can access the direction and value files of the GPIO pins through a BASIC OPEN statement and I am trying to use INPUT# and PRINT# to read and write into those files.
One of the posters is kindly having a look at my first attempt at the code, so I'm waiting to see what he says. I lent the R-Pi and the Input/output experimental board to a pal, so I will have to get it back before I can try out the code. |
