[Flashforth-devel] PIC18fxxk90

[<zd...@al...>]

Hi, everyone,

Two months after my start with FF I finally have the combination I've 
been looking for: PIC18F65K90 working in FF.

Debugging with 66K22 has paid off and this time it worked on the first 
try. There is FTDI USB to UART which also supplies 3.3V for PIC, and 
just 10 capacitors + 5 resistors. Totally Plug@Play. It can be used for 
anything as the most of PIC pins can be accesed via 2 x 16 pin 
connectors. I'll put a custom LCD on it, battery supply, quartz for real 
time clock, and move communication to UART2 because LCD needs UART1 
pins.
As the PICs 24 and bigger have support for both UART, hope this will not 
be a big problem to implement.

There is one thing that I'm not happy with: FF error reporting. It is 
hard to notice a question mark(s) when you compile 200 lines, and I 
would like to have a 'beep' for each error. Is it possible to make a 
vector which is executed on each error so I can choose if it just prints 
"?" (by default) or add a character like ctrl-g which makes sound on 
terminal, or attributes for inverted or flashing letters?
Does it make sense?

Zdravko
