FORTH TV

— Posted by xname @ 00:03

I had fun spending the weekend hacking with nice people and friends.

Forth TV is an experimental idea developed by Tom Schouten. The game is building a circuit with a pic chip (or similar) to draw on a television monitor typing commands on a terminal. The programming language is FORTH. The project is part of Brood, forth development system for microcontrollers.

The chain is computer -> usb -> serial -> pic chip -> video cable -> tv. 

Fortunately there is someone thinking of serious stuff to do with all these televisions around us.

  1. fare qualcosa di serio che abbia a che fare con la televisione mi sembra una contraddizione in termini. una di quelle da praticare con gioia...
    come quella in cui mi sono messa io :)

    (ho pure messo le mani per la prima volta su PD... e dopo mezz'ora avevo la testa che mi risuonava come un tamburo)
