Hi Erich, I’m probably another year out to offer any help if I’m even still capable… although I think I could muddle through and contribute some system admin type help with the irksome repositories. It seems to me that embedded hardware is vibrantly healthy and with the pressures IoT and of

Thanks for the thought stream Erich. I have one other wacky idea for the list. Maybe for next year when life in theory will settle or possibly over the 2020-2021 winter. I’d like to re-engineer a device called the CNC FROG. It was originally a kind of 1.5 or 2.5 axis CNC gizmo but really it

What a nice RTFM! I have some fond memories of working with a capable C programmer on an Atmel Butterfly as a platform.  I relied heavily on the data sheet to understand the capability of the ATmega169 at the time and several times was able to identify paths forward by doing so. We were squeez

Thanks Erich and Matthias, One way or anther I have three code snippets that look like will work (butterfly, ewlib and wiring_analog.frt). I like the approach of adc.wait in ewlib/adc.fs personally but it is good to have choices. Are recipes allowed to reference community code? I haven't bui

[Amforth] a small forth project

2015-05-19 Thread Ian Jefferson
Hello, I've been puttering at a temperature monitoring (and some day control) project. Since I wasn't sure of the final platform I ended up using a USB DAC/relay board and made up a simple signal conditioner board for some thermistors. My "supervisory controler" is any *NIX machine currently

2014-06-05 Thread Ian Jefferson
Hi Rolf, The avra-user list still works. I for one appreciate the efforts. Avra needs new energy in leadership I think but most of us have day jobs :-). There is occasional interest in getting a native assembler for *NIX's in the amforth list. I forget what the current issues are but a few y

Might it be easier to patch up AVRA? http://avra.sourceforge.net/ Avra with some patches listed here would build amforth at some revisions. I was even able to do it back in amforth 2 or 3.x days and I'm not all that capable a programmer. At that time I was living in a freeBSD / Mac world and

Hi Enoch, I'm out of my league here but you might look at the recent Avra-user threads on the subject of avra with amforth if you have not already. Erich Waelde and Marcin Cieslak are discussing this frequently and recently. Some time ago I had good luck with Avra and amforth but since both
