02:10:49 Kevin Appert: bill@billragsdale.cc for ForthTrivia Questions! 02:15:16 Juergen Pintaske: We have seen a few Forths in Javascript. from Ting, and from years ago easyforth. But they worked online - but did not have something like nodeJS for interfacing to the external world. Is there an example how to switch on an LED external to the PC in Javascript|? ? 02:17:13 Dave Jaffe: Intel 8080 chip was listed as $397 when I bought my Altair. 02:19:01 Joe O'Connor: You can blink zn Arduino with NodeJS 02:19:05 Joe O'Connor: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/Salmanfarisvp/arduino-blink-with-node-js-9f6466 02:19:28 Juergen Pintaske: My question might be probably best addressed to Brad, but I did not have the opportunity to place it before the meeting started. 02:19:39 Joe O'Connor: I've put my own version of Forth into NodeJS 02:20:09 Joe O'Connor: So it should be doable 02:20:20 Juergen Pintaske: Where can it be found? 02:23:48 Joe O'Connor: I don't think I've uploaded any code that interfaces Node to Forth in JavaScript 02:24:33 Joe O'Connor: Right now I've been mostly with my version of Forth in Python 02:24:38 Juergen Pintaske: The idea with something like node.JS was to have a serial interface functionality to send something to any external hardware, like read external inputs and set external bits. 02:28:15 Joe O'Connor: Python seems to be a bit more widely used at this time 02:28:25 Joe O'Connor: I'm open to either way of doing it 02:37:16 Juergen Pintaske: I am not much into software, but it is unfortunate, that there is no educational software to run on a mobile and switch on an LED. for example, and read some inputs. 02:39:05 Juergen Pintaske: I had hoped, somebody would take easyforth, and add the possibility to read in some inputs and output some options to add controlled bits. 02:39:56 Juergen Pintaske: Thanks for any feedback, unfortunately have to leave the meeting now. 02:40:06 Joe O'Connor: ok 02:47:38 Kevin Appert: https://github.com/BillRagsdale/WIN32Forth-Guide 02:47:52 Kevin Appert: the URL for Bill's guide 03:13:48 Stephen Adels: Thank you, Bill Ragsdale! 03:16:11 Brad Nelson: This page http://win32forth.sourceforge.net/doc/p-windlls.htm seems to suggest win32forth at some point dropped REL and ABS address spaces? (See Using ABS>REL REL>ABS (obsolete feature)) I'd be curious how they did that, as I thought the reason they had the alternate address space was to make TURNKEY work. 03:32:22 Brad Nelson: can you hear me? 03:43:30 Liang: I just posted the following to "FORTH PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE 21st CENTURY" on executing (lite)forth commands in URL: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PROGRAMMINGFORTH/posts/2782267155406634/ Here's a skeleton on how I implemented a (lite)forth (eventually called Phoscript) in Kotlin (a cousin of Java): https://github.com/udexon/android_kotlin_rpn/blob/master/kotlinrpn/app/src/main/java/com/projects/facedetector/MainActivity.kt 04:23:59 Kevin Appert: Is that something you'd like to talk about on Forth Day?
