Hi Leon, As previously stated amforth-shadow will have float as a lib submodule. While typical applications use fixed point arithmetic where floating-point is very useful is in setting up the parameters by the user (think about a PID control loop where the user supplies the Proportional, Integral and Derivative factors stated in real engineering units). I can see that your lib works, for example: > 0 $3f80 f. 1.00000 ok > 0 $3f80 fdup f+ f. 2.00000 ok but something is wrong with >float > pad 10 accept pad swap >float .s 1.0 #3 0 0 -1 ok By the way, if you wish to combine Python + AmForth fun I suggest adding to Keith Amidon's amforth-shell.py interactive terminal capabilities. Python THREADING module is suggested to handle the common serial I/O and CURSES is suggested to easily implement a 25x80 VT100 compatible virtual screen.
