I'm trying out new words at the prompt (working with minicom). Then I simultaneously write the working code into a file. When I think, the current state has progressed to a useful point again, then I remove the dictionary back to the first marker and upload everything again. That takes 5 minutes if I load my full featured data collector stuff. Time for a break. I have to reflash amforth occasionally, takes a minute. My brain is slow enough in the evening, so I'm not annoyed much during uploading times. %-> And like Matthias, I have "production boards" which are updated only after adding a new feature. And I have devel boards, one is running 24h/day, so I see rare failures, too. Like currently there seem to be destroyed bytes on the rs485 connection, like once in 2 days.
