isxtv

Isxtv is a lightweight interface object between Sphinx-aware programs and the Sphinx TV driver (sxtv).

Note that any object in a program's object hierarchy can use isxtv, not just the top object. This allows output from anywhere in a program and can be very useful.

Spin interface methods

• • PUB GetBasepin -- returns the video base pin.

  • PUB str(stringptr) -- prints the null-terminated string at address stringptr.

  • PUB dec(value) -- prints value as a decimal number.

  • PUB hex(value, digits) -- prints value as a hexadecimal number of digits digits.

  • PUB bin(value, digits) -- prints value as a binary number of digits bits.

  • PUB out(c) -- prints the character c. $08 is interpreted as backspace, $0d is interpreted as a carriage return.

Example

' A simple demonstration of isxtv

' Note: Sphinx-aware programs don't need clock settings

obj

  term : "isxtv"

  f: "sxfile"

pub Main

  term.str( string("Howdy") )

  term.out( 13 )

  ' Our work here is done. Now back to the command shell:

  f.Open( string("sphinx.bin"), "R" )

  f.Execute( 0 )
