RISC OS Pi still has the Econet code in it and even prints "Econet hardware not found" at every boot!

This year's RISC OS London Show, with added ABUG meetup, is taking place on Saturday 27th October 2018, at its usual venue of the St Giles Hotel, Feltham, TW14 9AD. Entrance is £5 with under 16s free, open 11am-5pm. http://www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk/ Cost for an ABUG stand is just your entrance fee,...

The RiscOS desktop applications seem very familiar to the MacOS ones. The other way round of course, as RISC OS did it years earlier :D Rather than using SparkPlug, you might want to try the read-only version of SparkFS from here - https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/common It turns archiv...

Now we're talking - Bristol's a bit more like it =D> There is a Bristol users group which meets every two months. Next meeting is Wed 12th September. Or there's the Wessex user group in Ilchester, their next meeting is Sat 8th September. Details of user groups here - http://www.riscository.com/cale...

Welcome!

If you are still in London, then the next ROUGOL meeting is tonight! (see sig)

Bryan.

I have only just realised that we are part of "Acorn World" again :) http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/43277/Acorn-World-Exhibition-8th-9th-September-2018/ Does that mean they will have extra exhibits out in the main hall again? That could change the space requirements in the classroom, e.g. I...

The DrawScript demo is today!

The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be: DrawScript, presented by David Lane Monday 16th July 2018, 7.45pm The Blue Eyed Maid , upstairs in the restaurant 173 Borough High Street, SE1 1HR DrawScript is a programming (or script) language for producing line-drawings in Draw format...

Forgot to say that the slides from the meeting are on the website - http://rougol.jellybaby.net/meetings/2018/jun.html ...although they don't have a lot of detail! Now that the move to Qt has been done, it means they don't have to develop two user interfaces (Window/Linux) for everything. I guess th...

Do you have any plans to buy a real Acorn machine, or are you enjoying emulation? I think I'll stick with emulation for now, thanks. b-em works quite well, and I have so many Raspberry Pis around the place that emulation just seems to happen. I hope you have RISC OS (Pico or full blown) on at least...

Reminder that the meeting is this Monday

I'll try to remember to take some notes (or twist someone elses arm to do it!) and post a summary.

Bryan.

Probably worth highlighting in the first post that although the attendee list (actually a table list) is full, people can still turn up on the day as visitors to join in the fun

I'll be there for all three days, but won't need much space, probably spend most of the time marvelling at what everyone else has been up to! (assuming I don't end up fixing SparcStations and VR systems in the main museum again :lol: ) For Saturday night, I can highly recommend the Wrestlers on Newm...

Hopefully someone will video the presentation and post it on you tube for all to see. I'm sitting here next to Peter, and he says "Nooooooooo!" :lol: We are always a bit reluctant to record the talks as it is hard enough persuading people to stand up and speak as it is, without it being broadcast f...

The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be: RPCemu, presented by Matthew and Peter Howkins Monday 18th June 2018, 7.45pm The Blue Eyed Maid , upstairs in the restaurant 173 Borough High Street, SE1 1HR RPCemu is the free, open source, RiscPC emulator available for use on Windows an...

Hoping to come along tomorrow with Louie & Dave. Not bringing any kit.

Great news, see you tomorrow! Can you bring the video of your LED cube that you showed at ROUGOL last month? I'd like to upload it to the website.

Thanks,
Bryan.

Welcome from your local user group

Welcome! For RISC OS programming info and help try the ROOL wiki and forum: https://www.riscosopen.org/wiki/documentation/show/HomePage https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/ Also check if you have a nearby user group (hint, see sig!): http://www.riscository.com/calendar/ No questions are too silly, just...

Reminder that this is on Monday

Right, I've booked into the hotel for the Saturday night, so please put me down for a table for Saturday and Sunday.

Bryan.

I've put up the info for this month's ROUGOL meeting here - viewtopic.php?f=25&t=15053

The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be: Raspberry Pi interfacing with BBC BASIC, presented by Andrew Conroy, Owl Art Un Ltd Monday 21st May 2018, 7.45pm The Blue Eyed Maid , upstairs in the restaurant 173 Borough High Street, SE1 1HR Andrew Conroy will be familiar as the helpfu...

IIRC this was a number range bug in the installer that caused it to wrap if you had lots of memory. The counterintuitive solution was to reduce your free memory before running it!

Yes. See my full reply over on the other thread - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14985&p=201643#p201643

Bryan.

The bad news is that the A9home was a rather beta test machine with a very beta test OS version, so your RISC OS experience is going to be a rough ride :-( Its USB setup does require manual fiddling as others have mentioned, and you'll probably find it will only deal with memory sticks/cards of less...

Spent most of the weekend at the Science Museum, either in the Power Up exhibition (sadly without Arcadian this year :-( ) showing visitors how to play the classic games, or helping children do stop motion animation with their plasticine monsters :D Also saw Ready Player One, which was fun spotting ...

To be pedantic that's a read only version of SparkPlug. For a read only version of SparkFS go here.

You should come along to the ROUGOL meeting on Monday 21st May, as our guest speaker will be Andrew Conroy who is bringing along a selection of his Raspberry Pi projects, all controlled using GPIO from BBC BASIC.

It was rather great meeting everyone. Good to meet you too :-) Thanks for coming and diving straight in with a presentation! =D> Bryan bought me a single whiskey that turned into a double somehow. Thanks Bryan! Those thanks belong to the nice lady behind the bar! The Blue Eyed Maid is an excellent ...

Tonight!
