IoT for Fun at Maker Faire - CH Ting
Ting has
been accepted for a booth at the upcoming Maker Faire with this description:
"Silicon Valley Forth Interest Group (SVFIG) is a non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting the Forth programming language since 1978. The recently
available low-cost WiFi-ready chip ESP8266 makes it possible for makers to
build and program their own IoT (Internet of Things) projects. We propose to
run tutorials and employ open experiment benches to teach makers how to build
their own IoT projects, give them a hands-on programming experience, and test
devices that are remotely connected over the Internet."

FIG Forth on a (Simulated) PDP-11 - Paul
Hardy
This talk describes how to get PDP-11 figFORTH running in the
Ersatz-11 and SIMH PDP-11 simulators using the RT-11 operating system. The
PDP-11's 16-bit architecture and stack operations make it an ideal match for
figFORTH.
- FORTH.MAC,
FORTH.DAT, etc
- RT-11v4
& v5.3 (note hobbyist license)
- Ersatz-11 (Demo
Version)
- PUTR
- Empty PDP-11
