Hi Richard, thanks for your message.

DIY test equipment! Cool! At some point I did generate a signal simply using a pin on a atmega32 --- and yes, this is *much better* than having nothing. :-) > My current challenge is to drive the ESP8266 with AT commands.

Sounds like the beginnings of a journey into remote sensor network stuff ... see below. --- *1* The german "Forth Gesellschaft e.V." runs a web page at http://www.forth-ev.de/ While most of the content is in German, there are a number of articles written in English in our quarterly publication "Vierte Dimension". All issues are free for download at "Download" > "Vierte Dimension" > "PDF Archive" http://www.forth-ev.de/filemgmt/viewcat.php?cid=2 for example: - 4d2016-01.pdf page 9 "Use of Forth to enable Distributed Processing on Wireless Sensor Networks" by Salvatore Gaglio et al. This is a highly inspirational paper from people in Italy. - 4d2014-01.pdf page 17 "Arduino Controlled Digital FM Radio" by Craig Lindley Maybe this helps. Needless to say: if you feel inclined to write something yourself, we can help you getting it in shape. *2* Along the same lines: there is a section called "Commented Projects" on the AmForth webpage: http://amforth.sourceforge.net/Projects/index.html This is a good place to "publish" projects in English. *3* And then there is a relatively new site to publish working code. The site attempts to provide a workable solution for any Forth, even on any microcontroller. http://theforth.net/ Hopefully this information is useful for all readers on the list. Hello readers: please show off your projects! Or at least mention them on the list. I have learned a lot reading other peoples code. I'm always curious and impressed about what others do, and I know, Matthias Trute is too. Cheers, and happy forthing! Erich -- The purpose of computing is insight --- not numbers R.
