;-) 18:59:24 which was my aim 18:59:44 no Cigarettes are more than two Blue Pills 19:00:11 Wow 19:00:23 the mcu in the Blue Pill was released in 2007, so it's pretty ancient 19:01:01 have you heard of 'Arduino' by any chance ? 19:01:25 Heard of it only, yes. 19:02:08 it's even more ancient, but not so cheap, basically uses a old Atmel Mega328 MCU and C++ with a ton of premade libraries 19:02:25 so it's very popular with artists and non tech types 19:03:23 I would stay away from any tech buried under C++ 19:03:31 I mention it because the Arduino people are trying to do the same with the same chip in the Blue Pill, which is ancient and not having a lot of success because it's ancient but very complex being Arm Cortex-M3 19:04:00 oh yeah, I think Arduino is a blight on embedded 19:04:18 but I'm in the minority as it's much loved by non techies 19:05:26 I see posts by Arduino users wonddering why the MCU seems to lock up when they are using the 'delay' function ... 19:05:57 or asking how to calculate a resistor value to drive a LED from 5 volts ... 19:06:15 --- join: kori (~kori@arrowheads/kori) joined #forth 19:07:17 they have no tech skills, Arduino is Windows for computer users 19:07:33 or better still Mac for computer users ;-) 19:08:17 I prefer Mac to Windows, at least it's POSIX underneath 19:08:39 because my starter kit is Forth based, I'm expecting a massive rush on the website of at least 2 new Forth users in the next month 19:08:59 lol 19:09:07 OSX, absolutely, the Mach Kernel and Freebsd userland ? 19:09:51 Im with you there, Id rather stab my hand with a pencil than be forced to use Windows 19:10:30 ouch 19:11:22 i seriously hate using windows and havent since 1997 19:11:51 i feel like my hands are tied behind my back with windows, no useful utilities or apps wtc 19:11:54 etc 19:12:26 Same here, I can't remember the last time I used Windows 19:12:44 yeah, enuf said about that pos, long live FORTH! 19:12:55 :) 19:14:16 I still consider my self a Forth beginner after running it since 2014 and I'm continually blown away by what it can do, and what I can do with it 19:14:43 and I only use Forth for small embedded 19:15:25 Very cool 19:15:38 I started with assembler on PACE in 1975 so Im not new to embedded either 19:16:49 Shame you only discovered it recently 19:18:07 actually I've worked on hardware for Forth twice before, once in 1975 and once in 1987 but I was only doing the hardware 19:18:55 I was always surprised by the enthuisasm of the Forth programmers on both occasions and promised myself that I'l "look into Forth oneday" 19:19:32 life went on by, marriage, family, building a home, divorce ... then finally Forth :) 19:20:10 Now of course I can see where Forth would have saved quite a few C projects from failure 19:20:10 Time flies 19:20:26 quite a few of my C based hardware projects that is 19:20:37 time sure does fly 19:21:05 still, better late than never :) 19:21:23 absolutely :) 19:25:07 bbiab 19:25:42 no problemo 19:33:51 tp, which C projects were those?

Sadly my prototype failed at the big demo ... 19:39:00 my C design environment was shabby, I couldnt debug the project properly, my code was terrible etc 19:39:56 * tp hangs his head in shame 19:45:40 thats tough 19:46:52 --- quit: dddddd (Remote host closed the connection) 19:49:19 It was, I vowed I'd never start a new project without having all the debug and dev tools I needed to complete it 19:51:22 then I started a wifi business and that took care of the next decade or so. Finally I looked into Forth and it seemed to offer the ability to build all those tools I needed 19:53:06 so I was in 'Forth evaluation mode' from 2014 to 2017, then started a small commercial project in 2017 using Forth 19:55:10 that project exceeded my expectations using Forth :) 20:07:56 what was that/ 20:08:26 commercial ... 20:33:49 --- quit: Lambdajack (Quit: ERC Version 5.3 (IRC client for Emacs)) 21:24:36 --- join: gravicappa (~gravicapp@h109-187-16-242.dyn.bashtel.ru) joined #forth 22:32:26 --- join: dys (~dys@tmo-108-232.customers.d1-online.com) joined #forth 22:42:05 --- quit: dave0 (Remote host closed the connection) 22:44:20 --- join: dave0 (~dave0@069.d.003.ncl.iprimus.net.au) joined #forth 22:47:35 --- quit: dave0 (Remote host closed the connection) 22:49:51 --- join: dave0 (~dave0@069.d.003.ncl.iprimus.net.au) joined #forth 22:53:05 --- quit: dave0 (Remote host closed the connection) 22:55:16 --- join: dave0 (~dave0@069.d.003.ncl.iprimus.net.au) joined #forth 23:05:05 --- quit: dave0 (Remote host closed the connection) 23:07:26 --- join: dave0 (~dave0@069.d.003.ncl.iprimus.net.au) joined #forth 23:28:35 --- quit: dave0 (Remote host closed the connection) 23:52:41 --- quit: dys (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/19.08.18
