BeeKey Atari on a key and now BeePi

[devo]

I set up BeePi today and tried to compile hello.prj with AHCC. The compiler error suggests that there seems to be a problem with finding the correct include path. I have tried adding the full path into the .prj file and the config, both "\" an d"/", various compiler options in config, but without success.

When I placed a copy of AHCCRT.H in the h:\Applications\ahcc.bin\ the first error went away. That seems to indicate that AHCC compiler is not finding the include path.

I have checked the atari-forum threads but found no one else reported this problem. So I feel I have missed something very obvious.

I use beepi for quite some time now. I notice that when it runs for a long time the mouse gets worse and worse. It's pretty acceptable when you boot it up but it gets far worse. I noticed this with Aranym on a real pc. The jerky mouse movement is really unsettling and I think it's the biggest reason I've never used Aranym for a long time. I also use Conholio to display logs and ssh to other machines. I notice that as things start slowing down the keys I type will actually be transposed. You simply cannot type fast without keys getting mixed up. I don't believe conholio is causing this. So Aranym definitely has some input related issues that occur after running for a lengthy amount of time.

EDIT: I should probably say thank you for this. This was out of the box pretty awesome. I really like the setup for the most part. I only wish that right click was double click in Teradesk.

Isn't it default that right click acts as double left clicks ??
May be there a program set to be the activated on right click.

Turns out the swapped key issue is specific to conholio only. But the whole thing does slow down a bit over time. I've increased the video refresh rate (which btw only works on non-JIT aranym) and things feel much better.

I am glad that you found Beekey useful.
Sorry for not answering, but I am presently in a very busy personal and professional time, so I have left aside my Atari projects for a while.
Regarding your issue, conholio is an unfinished project and I am not surprised that it doesn't work well. You'd better stick with Mint 1.19
As for the slow down over time, I have never noticed it even after a full day working, strange.

With the new release of EmuTOS, what is the best way to key it into BeePi for use?

Can someone help me with BeePi?

I installed it fine and the wifi was set to x.x.1.x net and my router is x.x.0.x so I did alt-f12 and changed both addresses now it won't boot and just hangs on the aranym logo.

I have reinstalled with win32diskimager 2 times and both time this has happened.

HI,
Are you using wifi with the Pi3 onboard wifi or with an external dongle? BeePi doesn't have every chipset for wifi installed.
If the boot hangs on, it's because network is not setup correctly. Normally after a few minutes it will boot, but this is not a normal feature, it's a bug. I have published some months ago a patch for network which should speed up and correct this wrong behavior. The patch is in this thread. You should try to apply it.
Regarding emutos update, TOS is stored into H:/.system/TOS. Just replace the previous Emutos file by the new one using KKcomander (use exactly the same file name and do not copy from the desktop, it will hang on)
I am away from my machines for the weekend, so I will be able to enter into more details next week.

Hello,

I am using the wifi built-in to the Pi3. Is that a problem?

I did already apply the patches for networking but still get the hang.

Thanks for the emutos information. I will do that today.

I have started to use BeeKey on an old laptop and have been trying to load some .msa files I coplied from my originals, to the A drive to try and install my favourite DTP program, Timeworks 2. When I do that and reboot I get the

I only get to the Ubuntu login prompt, and I don't know the password

Then the only way to get it to start normally is to write the USB drive all over again.

Does anyone know the Ubuntu login details, or how I would install software without getting this problem?

[christos]

Yes, you can find them here

Yea, I have read the manual and tried those details but they do not work.

[Faucon2001]

If you reach Ubuntu login prompt after boot, it means that Aranym crashed at startup.
I guess that you are trying to boot on your .msa image file, and that you floppy image is auto booting something that crash Aranym.(GDOS for example)
Try to open your msa image without booting it (open it with Aranym setup page) and copy the content to your hard drive.
Also, I doubt that Timeworks 2 works with Aranym as it is an old software knowing nothing about 32 bits video modes and high resolutions. You should try with Hatari : copy your image file into H:/applications/floppy under Aranym (from an USB stick or network share) and start Hatari. You will also need to install a TOS 1.04 or TOS 1.62 as by default Hatari use emutos.

[Decky]

Thanks I will give that a go.

Hi,
After quite a long time since the last release, I am back on track with an update for BeeKey.
It corrects several minor bugs on the host side and should speed up the boot time.
As requested by many, the update comes with a Hard Drive installer ; so now you can build your BeeBox.
As always, please read carefully the documentation.
