ForthDuino from Taiwan - CH Ting
"Friends in
Taiwan FIG sent me a ForthDuino board with a STM32F407, an impressive ARM chip
with 1MB of flash and 192KB of RAM, used on the STM32F4-Discovery board ($16.95
from Amazon). I am trying to move the SAM7eForth over, but so far, no luck. The
MDK-ARM toolchain from Keil is overwhelming. The chip is overwhelming, too. I
will bring the boards to the meeting and talk about them. If I can bring eForth
up, then we can celebrate."
“I got the interpreter working on the STM32F4-Discovery
board and am now working on the compiler. I will demonstrate the eForth system
at the meeting, whatever shape it is in.”

Exploring 1-wire devices on the GA144 - Franklin
Amador
This presentation will describe a method to interface the Dallas
Semiconductor high-precision one-wire digital thermometer (DS18S20) device with
the EVB001 evaluation board. The hardware and software interface, discussed in
a future app note, uses arrayFORTH and polyFORTH, respectively.
