First, it should be amazing to you that in a few lines of code you are generating a VGA color text display! Reviewing the
code, the program starts, waits for the Propeller to boot (don’t forget to do this), then the call to clear the screen, and we
enter the main while loop. Here a redundant call to set the color is made and the text is printed to the VGA terminal with
VGA_Term_Print(…) – that’s it!
Summary
This demo shows how easy it is to get VGA terminal like text output going on the Chameleon.
{
// print on VGA terminal screen
VGA_Color(0);
VGA_Term_Print("Hello World!
// slow things down a bit, so we can read the text!
DELAY_MS(10);
} // end while
");
