Re: [Amforth-devel] amforth on Arduino

[<ken...@al...>]

Hi Robert,

Just last night I got my BBB, an arduino clone by Modern Device,
working.  This board uses separate serial adapters.  

Using a serial port level shifter, I got only "amf" when I reset the
arduino.  

Using the BUB, a FTDI based USB adapter. I'd get the complete "amforth
4.0 ATmega328P" header followed by a constant stream of garbage
characters interrupted by a forth error each time the input ran over 80
characters.

Last night I tried an adapter made from a $4 clone of the Nokia CA-42
USB cable.  It worked just fine.  

There seems to be some magic involved in talking to the arduino  

Regards,
Ken
