Handera HiRes and toolbox installation

[NKL]

I'm trying to write a HiRes program for gandera using PocketC-ver3.8 and toolbox-ver7.5.3. Program compiles and runs. Even handera-specific functions as silkscreen control and screen rotation work, but when it comes to drawing only the upper-left coner of screen (160*160) is drawn. What can be the problem and how do I solve it?

Thanks.

P.S. My program

library "PToolboxLib"
include "Fctl.h"

main() {
int e;
int input;
int x=1;
int oldx=1;
int y=1;
int oldy=1;
int i,j;

Handera(1, 1);
//Handera(2, 1);
//Handera(3, 0);

graph_on();
while (1) {

for(i=0;i<200;i=i+4)
for(j=0;j<200;j=j+4)
SetPixel(i, j);

}
}

P.P.S. Didn't find any installation guides, is there such a thing?

You need to expand the standard graphics form. See the code below:

//handera_test.pc
library "PToolboxLib"
main() {
int i,j;

Handera(1, 1);
graph_on();
Handera(6,0); //expand graphics form

for(i=0;i<240;i=i+4) {
for(j=0;j<240;j=j+4) {
SetPixel(i, j);
}
}

event(1);
}

Not really.

The "Files" section of the docs tells what to do with the .lib file. The current PToolbox .prc file should be installed on your device.

Also, you are running with an old version of PocketC. Certain features in the PToolboxLib will cause crashes if at least PocketC v5.0.3 is not used.

Thank you very much!

It now works in 240*240 area, but not on minimized grafitti. I rotate the screen 90 degrees and hide the silkscreen.

It turns out that the PocketC graphics form cannot be made to expand to 480x240 correctly (I don't have access to the PocketC internals enough to make it work right).

However, you can easily get things working by creating your own form with the library. Example below.

//handera_test.pc
library "PToolboxLib"
include "Fctl.h"

main() {
int i,j;

Handera(1, 1); //set 1-to-1 scaling mode
Handera(2, 1); //rotate screen
Handera(3, 0); //hide grafitti

Form(3000,"Handera");
Handera(6,0); //stretch form
Fctl(DRAW,3000);

for(i=0;i<480;i=i+4) {
for(j=0;j<480;j=j+4) {
SetPixel(i, j);
}
}

event(1);
}

Thanx. I'll try it tomorrow.
