The FF5.0 archive and git from today has now a simple shell
that makes FlashForth a bit easier to use.
It is written in python.
It has command line history and edit.
A directive for sending a file to FlashForth.
And directive for warm start for a unresponsive FF.
Exit from the shell with control-c.
Some additional functionality could be added.
I was at least thinking of file listings and maybe file name completions.
Maybe also Forth word completions.
Here is the help text:
------------------------------------------------------------------
mikael@veriton:~/ff/shell$ ./ff-shell.py --help
usage: ff-shell.py [-h] [--port PORT] [--rtscts] [--xonxoff] [--speed SPEED]
Small shell for FlashForth
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--port PORT, -p PORT Serial port name
--rtscts Serial port RTS/CTS enable
--xonxoff Serial port XON/XOFF enable
--speed SPEED, -s SPEED
Serial port speed
Interact with FlashForth using commmand line editing and history. Send files
to FlashForth with #send path/filename. Warm start with #warm.
And Here is starts:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
mikael@veriton:~/ff/shell$ ./ff-shell.py --rtscts
Port:/dev/ttyACM0 Speed:9600 rtscts:True xonxoff:False
/home/mikael/.ff.history
ok<#,ram>
Exiting ff-shell.py, goodbye...

Attached is an alternative shell written in Tcl and based on the Tk text widget. Although the code is a bit longer than Mikael's Python shell, it does come with a GUI and might be a bit simpler for beginners. It seems to be fine on my Linux machine but could do with some exercise on a Microsoft-Windows machine and/or Mac. If all is good, it can be added to the FlashForth distribution. Regards, Peter J.

I tried it out and it worked for me on xubuntu 14.04. More bling-bling could be added. Configuration options of the serial interface would be nice. Thanks /Mike PS I started to modernize the website. Anything people would like to see there ?

The attached version now works reliably on my Linux box (Mint 17.1) and a Windows 7 machine with ActiveTcl 8.6 installed. It has a little bit of the requested bling, including the setting of the device for the serial port and the speed. I couldn't think of an easy to enumerate the valid serial port devices for a combobox input, so I settled for a simple text input. Suggestions are welcome. Anyway, the main code feature of this version is the simpler and more careful handling of the incoming characters. On the new web site, I'd like to see a collection of some of the code snippets that have appeared on the mailing list from time to time. Things like reading the ADC peripheral on example chips.

I tried it and it works, but... It does not start if the default port in the code does not exist. Could you change it so that the shell starts, even if the port is wrong. Otherwise the user needs to edit the code which sort of defeats the idea with the input box.

This version catches the error and continues with the GUI interaction in order to allow changes to the port name. Pressing enter tries to open the port. Peter J.

Pete (Zawasky),
The "wm" line is the first that is not a comment, procedure
definition or set command. I suspect that the wrong interpreter is
working on the file. The first line of the file "#! /usr/bin/wish"
tells the usual command interpreter which other interpreter to use on
this file so, maybe, this redirection is not happening. Can you please
try the following?
(1) Start the program with a command line that looks like
$ sudo wish ./ff-shell.tcl
and see if the program starts properly.
(2) Look where the wish command is on your system "which wish" in case
it's not where I presume.
(3) If the wish interpreter is really where I presumed, try removing the
space between the "#!" and the "/usr/bin/wish" on that first line.
I'll go looking for instructions on properly starting wish on different
unix systems. I have a vague recollection that there's a sure-fire way
described in the Tcl books.
Cheers,
Peter J.

Hi Peter, $ sudo wish ./ff-shell.tcl worked just fine.

I added the ff-shell.tcl to the distribution. With one small change. The Status line is not anymore rezised at window resize. diff ~/Downloads/ff-shell\(1\).tcl ff-shell.tcl 238c238 < pack $statusFrame -fill x -expand 1 --- > pack $statusFrame -fill x -expand 0 BR Mike |

So, that space character in the first line of the program may be the problem. I'll remove it. Peter J.
