(...) Yes, you need to read the rotation sensor continuously. Be careful to not read it TOO quickly, especially if the sensor is turning slowly or you get the jumpy count problem. There is a fix for it and I might add it too the rotation sensor code (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Keep digging. Try using a PC first and get that working. (...) Yep. (...) Sounds like pbForth is picking up steam again. Good. It's emails like this that keep me motivated to keep development going. I'm just back from a vacation, so I'll do (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) John, This is great news! My own Tcl based GUI is a bit lacking, and a grand unified firmware uploader sounds like a great idea. I've been away on holidays and conferences most of the month, so I've missed most of this thread. Quick question, (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) I wrote a hack to dump all the words, and here's the result for version 2.0.0. The word list has changed since 1999. I think the list is complete, but no guarantees. ?DUP 2SWAP 2OVER 2DROP 2DUP RSHIFT DLShift LSHIFT MOD / * */ SM/REM /MOD (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) My plan is to simply have the editor syntax highlight the built-in words in various (configurable) ways. Comments, for instance, () and \ would be highlighter in a certain way.

(...) I'm also playing with interfaces to pbforth at the moment. What you're doing and I'm not is syntax highlighting.

Do I have to manually frequently read the values from rotation sensors for the count to work, or does the firmware monitor the sensor for me? I have home-brew passive sensors, touch sensors and light sensors working fine, but the rotation sensor is (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I've started a project recently related to pbForth. And I'm interested in some community feedback. Last night I wrote a preliminary pbForth syntax highlighter for the editor component I use in BricxCC. And I modified BricxCC slightly so that you can (...)

I'm trying to get started with pbforth, but not finding it easy. While I know no forth, I'm happy with RPN (long-time HP calculator user) and stacks, dictionaries and defining words (ex-Postscript programmer). What I'm struggling with is getting as (...)
