Napoleon Commander
Simple file commander based on ancient Norton (Volkov...) commanders for DOS, now for Colour Maximite 2.
It has ability to connect to Mac/PC/Linux computer either through serial port or WiFi with help of included Python server NCserver.py (when serial port used, pyserial have to be installed with with pip install pyserial).
This server needs as minimum v0.66 of ESP8266 firmware (https://github.com/jirsoft/CMM2ESP)
Starting server without arguments use defaults from begin of the Python script, arguments can any combination of:
NCserver.py -s <serverdir> -ip <IP> (for UDP server)
<serverdir>
base directory for NCserver, Napoleon Commander on CMM2 see just inside of this
<ip>
IP address of ESP on CMM2
<verbose>
verbose level (0=min, 3 = max)
NCserver.py -h for help.
or for serial server:
NCserver.py -s <serverdir> -p <portname> -b <baudrate>
<serverdir>
base directory for NCserver, Napoleon Commander on CMM2 see just inside of this
<portname>
serial port used for communication with Napoleon Commander on CMM2
<baudrate>
speed of serial port, need to be the same as set in Napoleon Commander
(F11, option 6 checked=691200, unchecked=230400)
proportional text viewer on ALT F4
speedup for ASCII text viewer (F3), total amount of pages is not precalculated anymore
bugfixes
better resolution configuration
improved config system (old will be converted on-the-fly)
speed-up
bugfixes
test for TUI.INC version (needed for new config)
combined serial and network communication (switch ON/OFF ESP8266 with F11, restart server and use other medium)
improved serial/network speed
fixed bug in HEX editor (00 couldn't be entered)
extended About dialog (versions of GRF.INC and TUI.INC)
Atari ST graphic formats in GRF.INC
finally finished basic HEX editor on F4 key, it can just overwrite, not to make file longer or shorter
modified MANUAL.TXT to comply with changes
new icons for WiFi, HIDDEN items and SORT in left bottom corner, keys changed to CTRL+H and CTRL+H
clock in right bottom corner
WiFi functions on ALT+F12 (searh moved to more standard CTRL+F):
enabled just when ESP8266 module switched ON in CONFIG (key 7) and present (tested)
first time needed SSID and PASSWORD to network, later stored into NC.CFG file
bugfixes
added SEARCH to ALT+F12 (inclusive wildcards '?' and '*'), lists all found FILEs and DIRs, then jumps to first one
added GRF.INC library (link in description), now just with few functions:
screenshot saves BMP either in 8bpp or 16bpp (smaller files)
preview of GIF, BMP and PNG in window and size + bpp informations
preview of some C64 picure files: HiEddie (.hed), Doodle (.dd), Koala (.koa), HIRES (.hbm)
preview of SPRITE file
bugfixes in TUI.INC
changed ICN for to SPR (standard sprite file)
added simple sprite viewer
modifcation of BMP viewer
version file check
refactoring
added support for PgUp and PgDown
ALT+Home, ALT+End jumps to total begin and end of DIR listing
support for NC UDP server (included) on CMM2 Deluxe *or any other with connected through serial)
added Arduino file for ESP8266
use LONGSTRING in serial transfer FROM SERVER, big speedup
(400 MHz CMM2 without WS board, 66/31 kB/s to/from server, 480 Mhz CMM2 Deluxe 66/14 kB/s, why?)
command line arguments for NCserver.py (baudrate, port, serverdir)
on NCserver.py start check for non-ASCII characters in file/dir names (inside of serverdir)
