Hi Jan, I am not sure how far you got with amforth-shell.py so I have started at the beginning and worked forward in steps.
Step 1 Open an OS X terminal, change to your-amforth-dir/tools directory(folder) and type ./amforth-shell.py --help If this executes you should get a screen full of options with their descriptions. Step 2 Find your uno (or other board's) serial port name. Type ls -lt /dev/*usb* Here is my listing (I have two usb-serial devices plugged in so four entries) crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 17, 24 25 Oct 07:39 /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 17, 25 25 Oct 07:37 /dev/cu.usbmodem1411 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 17, 23 25 Oct 07:33 /dev/cu.usbserial-A906R1JQ crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 17, 22 25 Oct 07:33 /dev/tty.usbserial-A906R1JQ I will use /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 which is from my uno[1] Step 3 In the OS X terminal type (replacing /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 with your serial device name) ./amforth-shell.py -p /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 -s 38400 -i This should leave you in the interactive mode of the amforth-shell.py allowing you interact with AmForth[2] e.g. typing 2 3 + . Should result in 5 To exit type (on my mac # is alt 3) #exit If you get to here, then you have a working amforth-shell.py that can communicate with the uno. Let me know if that is the case. What remains is to get amforth-shell.py to search for and include files. That is Step 4 (which is to follow, if step 3 completed successfully). Regards, Tristan [1] For my uno, if I plug it into a different USB port I will get a different device name - though the port to name mapping is the same. [2] Assuming you have AmForth on the uno.
