Overview

Mastering Forth for Embedded Systems is a comprehensive guide for developers and engineers who want to leverage Forth on low-resource microcontrollers. This book covers everything from installation to advanced real-world applications, giving you the skills to build reliable and efficient embedded systems. You will learn: How to install and configure Forth on popular microcontroller boards, including serial setup, flashing, and troubleshooting. The fundamentals of stack-based execution, data stack rules, arithmetic and logic words, and creating modular, reusable code with custom words. Working with variables, constants, loops, and conditional branching to structure complex embedded programs. Direct hardware access techniques, including reading sensors, driving motors, handling interrupts, and managing GPIO pins efficiently. Timing-critical programming, event-based control, and strategies for stable loop execution and interrupt handling. Power management and resource optimization techniques for low-resource devices. Practical debugging methods using the stack, incremental testing, and live hardware inspection. Integration of multiple modules into fully functional embedded systems for robotics, IoT, and other real-time applications. This book emphasizes real hardware implementation, giving you a clear understanding of how Forth interacts with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and other peripherals. You will gain confidence in designing efficient, maintainable, and high-performance embedded systems without relying on prebuilt libraries or complex frameworks. Whether you are building robots, IoT devices, or timing-sensitive automation systems, this book equips you with the knowledge and practical techniques to program Forth effectively in real-world embedded environments.
