I've been experimenting with a BeagleBone (embedded ARM V7 platform) and was
able to get Squeak 4.2 running without a problem. I put together a simple demo
with a blog post and video, and thought the Squeak list may be interested
(also, please let me know if I have any technical errors in my smalltalk code
explanation).

Very nice!
There is one flaw in your code. You should never run Morphic code outside the UI process.
But your "appendValue:" message does that. The correct way would be to write
WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [graph1 appendValue: lightValue]
That will cause the block to be evaluated at the next display cycle.
Of course, the proper way to make an updating Morph is to write a new Morph
class. Then you could use Morphic's stepping mechanism to read the data and
display it.
Thanks Bert! I just started playing with Morphic and didn't know this.
( also, I just started learning smalltalk last year and mostly working
with Zinc on Pharo). I was targeting my post at non-smalltalk arduino /
BeagleBone devs and wanted to keep the syntax as simple as possible, but
should I update the post?
But for a 10 line hack your code is not bad :)
I hear this a lot. ;)
