Welcome

	The site is aimed at microcontroller enthusiasts, beginners and people who need to control something but do not want the hassle of learning a new system. A model, programmable train controller could be built for example, a robot system, a car or computer modification system or anything that requires controlling. Interaction is the key, all the systems presented use either BASIC or Forth, its fast and fun (yes fun). No specialist tools, or more importantly knowledge is required. Its simply a matter of typing and watch what happens. For Practical projects and information see the Articles section. To purchase any of the products visit the Shop. Free software is available in the Download section. NEW ForthLib pages

IASI-2

A major update to the IASI protocol has been released. As a result of feedback from users this new protocol update addresses all of the areas that caused problems particularly in the areas of setting up and multiple devices. The emphasis is now more on automated control rather than manual input from the user via a terminal. All devices start up in the same way regardless of the configuration and all devices must be addresses.

IASI & I2C From a Browser

Control hardware using a browser on your PC using free software. IASI and I2C (BV4221) interfaces can now be controlled from a PC using a Browser. If your not keen on using a browser than how about an application like Word or Excel. It is possible to control an IASI device or an I2C device directly from a Microsoft application. A data logger actually built into Excel?

Work with I2C form Your PC

A new product called the BV4221 is a USB to I2C converter. It requires no special software to enable I2c devices to be controlled. All that is needed is some terminal software such as HyperTerminal or BV Terminal. The device can also 'spy' on the I2C bus so that hard to define problems can be debugged. You can watch what is going on on the I2C bus.

A New way to Use BV Forth? -- ForthLib

There is a NEW way to use Forth? // Check out ForthLib // What is the most annoying about getting any new code? You start to compile and there are missing functions (words in Forth's case), you have no idea what they do and it takes a long time to find out so that you can get the new stuff working. Something else? Well, often you have to load a 'library' of words just for one or two that you need, working out the dependencies is an impossible task, so you just load the whole lot. And the last gripe for today? To offer functionality for a piece of hardware, the SD Card for example 90% of the words are there to support the main, needed words such as open, write etc. the other words need to be hidden in the background and you certainly don't want them to clash with your code.

Interrupts & Multitasking

There is a new article on how to accomplish interrupts and multitasking using BV Forth and the BV511. There is no need to download any new Forth firmware because it is already built in. See the new article in the 'How To' section for details. There is also some example code in the downloads section that shows External Interrupts, Timer Interrupts and a round robin multitasker.

32bit ARM Microcontroller

Brand new 32bit microcontroller that is incredibly easy to use, simply plug in to the USB, install the drivers and that's it, ready to program. It has a built in operating system so is fully interactive. This is the easiest way to migrate form 8bit to 32bit without the cost of a development system or the massive learning curve of the GNU Free software route. The board comes with CD-ROM and 100 page user guide.
