| 12:39 | Disabling PDP-8 CPU idling when ILS is enabled. This has always been the default for some boot/*.script files, but we need to enforce it when ILS is enabled because we need regular CPU instruction rates to make this work. Closes [c9eb5ac0144] Also added a new configure script flag, --no-idle, to allow NLS users to disable CPU idling too, if they like. The *.script files generated from *.pal are marked noidle, with no way to change it at present. CPU idling doesn't make much sense for these two (1.script and 5.script) anyway. file: [b48697fb63] check-in: [f24edf21c1] user: tangent branch: trunk, size: 2479 | |

| 06:40 | Disabled the DF32 device in all boot/*.script outputs, since we don't use it, and its default device name ("DF") is ambiguous with respect to a PDP-8 CPU register that's always present. file: [001e712e23] check-in: [84a8e1d314] user: tangent branch: trunk, size: 2456 | |

| 22:12 | Updating our estimate of the proper skip count in set_pidp8i_leds() in order to give an LED value update rate of ~100 updates per second, roughly equal to the human PoV limit. The prior method used a hardcoded value which means on really fast Pis we're updating more often than we need to, and when the PDP-8 simulator is throttled down (such as for a blinkenlights demo) we were updating way too slowly. As proof of concept, the ac-mq-blinker example now runs at less than 1/10 the speed it used to, yet it looks vastly better than before.

| 19:47 | Obtained permission to distribute the AC/MQ blinker program under the SIMH license, so added that license to the top of examples/ac-mq-blinker.pal. Quoting the reply to my email asking for permission: "I, Robert Krten, the sole author of the program identified as the "AC/MQ blinker program" for the PDP-8/I, hereby agree to distribute the program under the SIMH license as found at https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/doc/trunk/SIMH-LICENSE.md" file: [c37f98e043] check-in: [58094e0cf4] user: tangent branch: trunk, size: 2438 | |

| 10:27 | Added tools/mkbootscript, a Perl script that parses palbart listing files generated during the normal build process and turns them into SIMH boot scripts. This in turn means we can remove boot/1.script and boot/5.script, since they can now be generated from corresponding programs in examples/*.pal.

| 08:42 | More style improvements to examples/ac-mq-blinker.pal, plus some rework to the memory locations it uses to match boot/5.script. file: [ca989fc0c1] check-in: [f7c67eb7f8] user: tangent branch: trunk, size: 1008 | |
