Hi Ralph, (...) I wanted to see if I could stop pbFORTH from echoing characters back to the PC. I figured it wouldn't be hard to do, and it would make my HyperTerminal sessions look a lot cleaner. So what do you use? I couldn't get (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Jonathan, you use the GNU toolchain to assemble the files, but why bother? The pbforth.srec file is available for download and it is complete by itself. Just use "nqc -firmware pbforth.srec " to get it into the RCX. I have a newer release with (...) (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hello, I was wondering what tool I need to compile the pbFORTH asm files. I have the tools that are used for legOS--is there something there that can assemble the asm files? Thanks, Jonathan (25 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

John, I've been looking at your ping routine and note the following... Even if FF EMIT did not block, the wait makes things irrelevant. At 2400 baud, the FF is out the port within 4 msec. In fact, if EMIT did not block, you could probably wait jsut (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

No, it's not documentation for pbFORTH - yet. I have found a decent book on line, it is Tim Hendtlass's Real-Time FORTH book. It is really geared for FPC, a dialect that is available for the PC, but the sections on numbers, stack manipulation, (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

John, I tried to put this part of the code into my test script without the ping word and it worked fine. Yes, I uncommented the line that does not work for you.
