New Firmware - V3.2 (UPDATED)
A new version of MMBasic is available for download at the bottom of this page. This version introduces four significant new features: User defined functions that operate the same as built in functions within MMBasic. Support for a DOS version of MMBasic that runs in a DOS window on Windows XP/Vista/7. Dynamic memory management which dramatically increases the amount of useful memory available for programs and arrays. Additional features for the Duinomite version including support for the hardware UARTs, measuring the battery voltage and other minor improvements. The change log (included in the download) provides full details of all changes. The update can be applied via USB from a Windows computer and all software and instructions are included in the download. When a new version of MMBasic is available I will post it on this web page. To save you from having to check this web page all the time I can also send you an email. To enable this please enter your email address in the box below and click on Submit.

There is an update to the User Program library The MMBasic library is a collection of programs specifically written for MMBasic. These include a game of Space Invaders with graphic invaders marching across the screen, demonstration snippets of code and programs to do interesting things like generate morse code. Because the programs are so small they are all bundled together into a single downloadable file available from the download section below.
Hugh Buckle is now managing the library and he has done a great job of verifying and organising it.The library is a great resource for beginners and experts alike so, if you have written a program for MMBasic and you believe that it is worth sharing, please send it to Hugh at and he will add it in. You should also include a description of what the program does for the library index. By Geoff GrahamThe Maximite is a small and versatile computer running a full featured BASIC interpreter with 128K of working memory. It will work with a standard VGA monitor and PC compatible keyboard and because the Maximite has its own built in SD memory card and BASIC language you need nothing more to start writing and running BASIC programs. The Maximite also has also 20 input/output lines which can be independently configured as analog inputs, digital inputs or digital outputs. You can measure voltage, frequencies, detect switch closure, etc and respond by turning on lights, closing relays, etc - all under control of your BASIC program. The design is free and open source including the software and BASIC interpreter. And all this is powered by a single chip which costs just US$8.44. The Maximite was described in the March, April and May 2011 issues of Silicon Chip magazine. The mini Maximite was described in the November 2011 issue of Silicon Chip magazine.
