Forth for Arduino

Short description: Forth is the simplest programming language for embedded systems, including Arduino. We have a number of Forth systems for the Arduino Uno board. We will teach people how to write Forth programs for applications on Arduino boards.

Full description: Forth is the simplest programming language for embedded systems, including Arduino. We have a number of Forth systems for the Arduino Uno board. We will teach people how to write Forth programs for applications on Arduino boards. We will set up four training stations with laptop PCs and Arduino boards to give people hands-on experience in using the Forth language to program Arduino boards.

"These are some notes from my first experiences on Green Array’s Evaluation Board (EVB001 rev 0.1.1). I will try to explain things precisely, so that others can follow after me. Although I have worked with earlier versions of Chuck’s chip, I have not used the ColorForth IDE. This means that I am learning just about as much as most readers of this document and, as they recommend in the arrayForth User’s Manual (DB004 Revised 12/23/2011)."
