circfruit@extrowerk to be honest, I haven’t dug too much in chips other than the most popular ones - atmega, attiny85, esp8266/32 and now ch32v003. I’m doing electronics more on a hobby level. I’d go for rp2040, since #zeptoforth already supports it quite well and Raspberry Pi Pico board is quite cheap. If you want to build your own board I guess you’ll want to look what chips #zeptoforth or #Mecrisp Forth variants support.
... and this is how you light up a led on rp2040 (#raspberrypi pico) in #zeptoforth There's something beautiful in poking registers directly. Nevermind the decimal experiment at declaring the first const, I’m still learning #forth
max22-#forth An interesting comment by the creator of #zeptoforth on reddit :
"In zeptoforth I have added a syntax stack used for validation of syntactic constructs, e.g. making sure : or :noname is matched by a ;, [: is matched by ;], if is matched by else (and then then) or by then, begin is matched by while (and then repeat), until, or again, do or ?do is matched by loop or +loop, and so on."
see next toot for the remaining...
Video Processing WikiThat is great that you have a Pico-Ice. #ZeptoForth on the #rp2040 is very interesting.
I hope that you live in the US, I paid for priority international mail, and the package has been sitting in Los Angeles for a week. The US mail system is so broken. The company plans to start shipping from outside of the US.

#ZeptoForth boots on the #picoice. It is written in RP2040 assembly, is reportedly very small, and supports the programming model of communicating sequential processes, just like GoLang.

#ZeptoForth boots on the #PicoIce, which means that the default power, usb and flash pins are correctly connected. Which means that #MicroPython and #Mecrisp probably boot as well.
As soon as I get my #FPGA working on the #Upduino, I want to buy a Pico-Ice, and check out the REPLs..
On the RP2040 there is at least #ZeptoForth and #Mecrisp Forth. It is good to know that there is no eForth.
#ZeptoForth says that they can use the Wifi, but that #Mecrisp does not use the Wifi.
I wonder what other Forths are available for that chip. One decision I have to make is which #Forth to use on that chip.
