This is like the original release of Windows Vista all over again! Does anyone know if there are any changes from the leaked version, and what MP stands for (MathPrint?).
Also, while this page has some humorous comments, I think that they should be removed. I might do it later, but I have a class in less than ten minutes.

I have finals this week, but I will try to update the references to it over break if I remember.

83Plus:Software:usb8x/Error Codes

2009-11-10T16:31:27Z

JoostinOnline: Fixed all links

Error codes may be returned via both the [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface|assembly language interface]] and the [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface|BASIC interface]]. In the BASIC interface, the error code is returned in the first element of the return list. In the assembly language interface, an error is generally indicated by a return with the carry flag set. The error code can then be read via [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface/GetErrorCode|GetErrorCode]]. Error code equates are located in [http://usb8x.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/usb8x/usb8x/usb8x.inc usb8x.inc].
== Error Codes ==
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"
!Error # !! Name !! Info
|-

83Plus:Software:usb8x/Sample Code

2009-11-10T16:26:17Z

JoostinOnline: I have fixed the links on this page and hid the comments. This is the worst page I have seen so far. I have no idea what the author was trying to do with the code, but it needs to be fixed.

Example code using the usb8x assembly and BASIC interfaces
== BASIC ==
=== Mouse Demo ===
This example uses the [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface/MouseInit|MouseInit]], [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface/MouseDo|MouseDo]], and [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface/KillUSB|KillUSB]] entry points to control a point on the screen with a USB mouse.

=== Keyboard demo ===
==== Simple Example ====
This program waits for you to press a key and then echos back which one. Unlike the ASM demo in USB Tools, this one handles all of 'em.

The requirement of LKBDSC being used to index an index is leftover from the early stages of this and somebody should reorganize the string so this isn't needed. Or not. Just an idea.

== Assembly (TASM) ==
Code for TASM-compatible assemblers. Though usb8x is designed for use with ZDS, a TASM-syntax include file is provided as well. TASM itself is apparently incompatible with usb8x macros, but they have been tested to work correctly with [http://benryves.com/bin/brass/ Brass]. Use [http://usb8x.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/usb8x/usb8x/usb8xtsm.inc usb8xtsm.inc] instead of [http://usb8x.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/usb8x/usb8x/usb8x.inc usb8x.inc].
=== Mouse Demo ===
This code uses [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface/DriverInit|DriverInit]], [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface/Mouse/MouseInit|MouseInit]], [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface/Mouse/MouseGetKey|MouseGetKey]], [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface/HostKill|HostKill]], and [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Asm_Interface/DriverKill|DriverKill]]. It is a replica of the mouse demo code from usb8x, though it doesn't include routines unrelated to USB. In this case the address of the callback routine passed to U_CALL_INIT doesn't matter, because MouseInit redefines the callback to handle the mouse data.

83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC Interface/ExportVariable

2009-11-09T23:26:41Z

JoostinOnline: Fixed both MSDInit links

== Synopsis ==
'''Name:''' ExportVariable

'''Function Number:''' 9

'''Minimum usb8x version:''' 0.10

Exports variable from RAM or Flash to specified directory as *.8x* file.

=== Inputs ===
* 2: String variable to use (Str1-0)

=== Outputs ===
* 1: Error code (0 = success)

== Notes ==
Be sure to initialize the mass storage driver with [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface/MSDInit|MSDInit]] before calling this entry point.

This entry point will fail if a *.8x* file of the same name is already in the specified directory.

You have your choice of Str1-Str0 to use with this function. Pass this number as the second element in Ans.

=== String Format ===
The variable to export starts the string. It is the ''token'' for the variable you want to transfer. This means you must select this variable from a menu instead of typing it yourself (for example, selecting "Str9" from the VARS menu, ''not'' typing 'S', 't', 'r', '9'). A colon follows this, and finally the path to export the variable to.

For example, to send matrix A to the root directory, use the following for the string:
<code>
"[A]:/"
</code>
The "<code>[A]</code>" was selected from the [2nd]+[MATRX] menu.

To send prgmGAME to the "test" directory, use the following for the string:
<code>
"prgmGAME:/TEST"
</code>

To send a REAL variable or AppVar, simply enter the string. If a REAL variable and AppVar have the same name, it will send the REAL variable. To send AppVar ABC to the root directory:
<code>
"ABC:/"
</code>

Do not enter lowercase letters in the string.

== Example ==
The following code will export ZTETRIS to the root directory:
<code>
OpenLib(USBDRV8X
{7
ExecLib ;initialize mass storage driver
"prgmZTETRIS:/->Str1
{9,1
ExecLib ;export variable in Str1
</code>

83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC Interface/MouseDo

2009-11-09T23:21:31Z

JoostinOnline: Fixed all links

== Synopsis ==
'''Name:''' MouseDo

'''Function Number:''' 3

'''Minimum usb8x version:''' 0.07

Gets movement and keypress information from the mouse driver.

=== Inputs ===
''None''

=== Outputs ===
* 1: Error code
* 2: Button presses
* 3: X dimension movement
* 4: Y dimension movement

== Notes ==
Be sure to initialize the mouse driver before calling this entry point.

Each bit of the 2nd output represents one button. So if the left mouse button is pressed the returned value will be 1. If the right mouse button is pressed it will be 2. If both are pressed it will be 3. Etc.

X and Y dimension movement are returned in a somewhat strange format. If the number is between 1 and 127, the mouse was moved that many "ticks" to the right or down. If the number is between 128 and 255, the mouse was moved 256 minus that many ticks to the left or up. See the code example of details on how to convert these numbers to something that makes sense.

If no changes in the mouse are reported within a certain length of time, MouseDo will return a [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Error_Codes|Timeout]] error. This is not an unrecoverable error, just ignore the rest of the output list for this particular iteration.

== Example ==
See the [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/Sample_Code#Mouse_Demo|Sample Code]] page for an example of using MouseDo, and for how to convert the x/y dimension movement outputs into useful values.

== See Also ==

JoostinOnline: Fixed both MSDInit links

== Synopsis ==
'''Name:''' ImportVariable

'''Function Number:''' 8

'''Minimum usb8x version:''' 0.10

Imports *.8x* variable from specified directory to RAM or Flash.

=== Inputs ===
* 2: String variable to use (Str1-0)
* 3: Flags byte
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"
|-
| ''Value'' || ''Effect''

| 00 || Store in RAM and do not overwrite existing variable if necessary
|-
| 01 || Store in RAM and overwrite existing variable if necessary
|-
| 02 || Store in Flash and do not overwrite existing variable if necessary
|-
| 03 || Store in Flash and overwrite existing variable if necessary
|}

=== Outputs ===
* 1: Error code (0 = success)

== Notes ==
Be sure to initialize the mass storage driver with [[83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface/MSDInit|MSDInit]] before calling this entry point.

You have your choice of Str1-Str0 to use with this function. Pass this number as the second element in Ans. The string is formatted as follows:
<code>
"/FOLDER1/FOLDER2/GAME.8XP"
</code>
Pass the flag value of your choice as the third element in Ans.

== Example ==
The following code will import ZTETRIS.8XP from the root directory and store it in RAM (without overwriting any duplicates):
<code>
OpenLib(USBDRV8X
{7
ExecLib ;initialize mass storage driver
"/ZTETRIS.8XP->Str1
{8,1,0

JoostinOnline: /* See Also */ Fixed link.

== Synopsis ==
'''Name:''' MouseInit

'''Function Number:''' 2

'''Minimum usb8x version:''' 0.07

Initializes the mouse driver.

=== Inputs ===

I just fixed the order of the functions and added command numbers. [[User:JoostinOnline|JoostinOnline]] 17:34, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

== The pages exist... ==

I think the commands exist on the wiki but they are not linked correctly.

Example:
http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=83Plus:Software:usb8x/BASIC_Interface/GetIDs

Good job, it looks great! I am going to clean up the links on those linked pages. [[User:JoostinOnline|JoostinOnline]] 22:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

JoostinOnline: /* Available Functions */ Added the command numbers

The OpenLib( and ExecLib commands can be used to access usb8x functions from BASIC programs. Input and output is passed through a list in the Ans variable. On input, the first element of the list holds the function number of the command to execute and the remaining elements hold input values. On output, the first element holds the success/error status (where 0 is success) and the remaining elements may hold output data values. See the information page on individual functions to determine its function number and input/output values.

Note: Versions of usb8x prior to 0.10 require that the input list be seven elements long. Elements that are not part of the defined input are ignored.

Example code to quit unless a USB device is connected:
<nowiki>OpenLib(USBDRV8X
{0
ExecLib
If not(Ans(2
Return</nowiki>
