"IoT for Fun at Maker Faire" Trial Run- CH
Ting "John Glauvitz kindly loaned four Windows 7 PC's for use at SVFIG's
Maker Faire booth supporting the four workshops: Arduino / Forth, MicroPython /
webREPL, MicroPython Server / Client, and LUA / Explorer. The programming
challenge is simply to turn the on-board LED on/off remotely through a WiFi
link. Maker Faire attendees who succeed will receive a free
ESP8266
12E Kit. I have been preparing the clear workshop materials and will
present them at the meeting."

Expanding a 16-bit MISC Processor - Samuel A. Falvo
II "How do you expand a 16-bit MISC that addresses only 64KB of memory
to handle 32- or 64-bit processing needs and memory capacities, without
breaking all the development tools you've already written? Ideas presented are
NOT TESTED, but look like they hold some promise." |
