@pawaller Keep me posted... and I'll let you know when I upload something. As I mentioned elsewhere, I put FF onto the Nano with another Arduino.

@pawaller I’m going to write a Forth tutorial for the half size/mini design that we are planning but that is STM32. I could be convinced to do some notes for the Nano as well on FlashForth if there was interest.

@pawaller Not online yet. I’ve run FlashForth on the Arduino Nano, and I know there are options for the other Micro modules people have fitted.what are you using?

Farewell Clive Sinclair - thank you for making computers that were cheap enough to be in reach of many kids present budgets. You changed many lives for the better, including mine.

Interestingly, this is the best programming manual I've read for a long time (Written in the early 80's). #jupiterace #forth

@JohnKennedyMSFT You are not the only one, e.g. jupiter-ace.co.uk/SWHouse_JKenne… - I just assumed it was a football joke I didn't get.

@WilliamMarshal1 what happened to FORTHdsPIC ... is it available on GitHub? I have a robot that uses a dsPICFJ128MC804 and wanted to try Forth on it.

Helping Primary school (10/11 yr olds) once a week with programming classes - getting the kids to program with Scratch. What strikes me is it’s almost exactly how I learnt to program on my 1K ZX81 when I was about that age - typing in games programs from prewritten sources.
