The small computer stuff has me wanting to pick up kforth again, my attempt at writing a forth interpreter. Ideally, I'd have a Cortex M4 version (for the Adafruit Feather M4) and an x86 version. I picked up a Keyboard/LCD featherwing from Solder Party on Tindie for the sale today, and I kind of want to make it into a portable Forth computer. No networking on it, but maybe I can jam in a radiowing and have some LoRa fun.
Keyboard FeatherWing - QWERTY Keyboard + 2.6" LCD
Which makes me wonder what a Forth interface for the radio would look like. Some ideas:
." some text message" lora-tx $65 $67 $61 $73 $73 $65 $6d $20 $79 $72 $61 $6e $69 $62 $20 $65 $6d $6f $73 19 lora-tx
In the hex example, the last number is the length of data to transmit. Maybe that's the right thing to do? Not sure.
Really ought to get to bed. This week has been bad about sticking to my routine, holidays maybe or something else.
