Zompist Bboard Again

Treble!

My request to pid.codes for the USB VID:PID of 1209:CCCC for the USB CDC console for zeptoforth has been approved!

I didn’t even know tacos could be fossilized!

the last time I ate them,
I don't know if they were fossilized
when they came into the kitchen,
but they weren't very young
considering the effect they had on me...

Even though I don't yet have my PicoCalc, with the help of someone who has received their PicoCalc over in the UK as well as the ability I programmed in to select an ST7789V display (which I do have) at compile time as well as a keyboard emulator I wrote I have largely gotten my PicoCalc drivers and terminal emulator for zeptoforth working!

After being a fan of this board and thinking about joining for a long time, a few days back I finally did. Hi everyone

Welcome! If noone has offered you the traditional tea and pickles yet, I do that herewith.

Welcome Flau! Have some tickles and peas!

Welcome Flau!

Hi Flau, and welcome!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! (and for all the pickles and tea)

I may be late, but I can offer more welcomes, pickles and tea¹.

¹ Sadly the traditional picture thereof succumbed to linkrot

Thank you!

Don't worry, I already had plenty* of tea** today.

*That is, both online and IRL tea
**So far mostly digital pickles though

Welcome!

I have written a text-only terminal emulator for zeptoforth on the PicoCalc for those who may think that the graphical terminal emulator uses far too much RAM with its huge framebuffer, and it works in my local test setup (even though I have yet to get confirmation that it works on the PicoCalc itself).

I have gotten confirmation that the new text-only terminal emulator does work on the PicoCalc!

I had a quite productive day by my standards today. Got a number of things done that I wanted to get done. Yay!

zeptoforth 1.13.2 is out! This release adopts the new USB VID:PID (no, I didn't shell out thousands of dollars to the USB-IF, it's long story) for the USB CDC console, adds online help to zeptoed, and fixes bugs in FAT32 and flushing the USB CDC console.

I got a bill I had been expecting for a while, and it turned out to be a good deal lower than I had expected it to be. That means I'm in a somewhat better financial situation than I thought I would be.

I've finished something I wanted to finish for a while. I can't comment on what it is for now. Unfortunately, it's not the thing I talked about a few months ago.
