  • I'm wondering why so few forth microcontoller tutorials are out there?

    Thanks, GitHub URL: https://github.com/TG9541/stm8ef
  • Recommend an LPC 8051 or STM8?
    1 project | /r/embedded | 11 Feb 2022
    I'm a fan of the STM8 line, nice peripherals, and nice programming model if you are writing any assembler. Much cleaner than 8051. You can do debug with the STLink. There are free toolchains from ST as well as the open source SDCC compiler. There is even a nice Forth. Even if Forth does not interest you that set of pages has a lot of info about various STM8 devices.
  • What's your favorite family of MCU and why?
    2 projects | /r/embedded | 12 Sep 2021
    This past week I've been on a mission to find the cheapest microcontroller that I can reasonably learn to program. I've gone down the STM8S 001 rabbit hole and found this https://github.com/TG9541/stm8ef/wiki/STM8-eForth-Example-Code
  • Forth language : what are it's pros and cons?
    1 project | /r/embedded | 20 Aug 2021
    An example: eForth for the STM8 lets you fit an interactive development system including compiler onto an mcu with 8Kb flash and 1kB ram. Very useful for testing and exploratory development in systems that are otherwise far to small to support it.
  • FOR .. NEXT loops in eForth
    1 project | /r/Forth | 30 May 2021
    Eventually you're going to need someone to help explain what on earth is going on here. Fortunately Thomas Göppel the maintainer of STM8 eForth has done that in a very readable explanation of FOR .. NEXT and how to use it.
  • Collapse OS – bootstrap post-collapse technology
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Jan 2021
    It's always a multi dimensional spectrum of cost, performance, peripherals, development support, availability, family reach, etc. I personally really like STM8 microcontrollers for their simplicity and very low cost (can be less than 30 cents). There's actually another project that brings Forth to STM8: https://github.com/TG9541/stm8ef It has very good documentation and I recommend anyone to take a look
  • Just Wanted to Say Thanks
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Dec 2020
    I used the discussions feature to express my thanks a few days ago. Might be better than opening an issue? https://github.com/TG9541/stm8ef/discussions/386
