Links to embello libraries are broken
Hi Elliot,
The link to JeeLab's Embello library as well as the Mecrisp-Stellaris "common" directory seem to be broken from the links provided in your README. I've spent a good while trying to track them down, with no luck ? Do you have any idea where these libraries might have moved to?
Thanks very much for your articles on hackaday.
Best link to Embello I can find is the archive zipfile posted here: https://github.com/jcw/jcw.github.io/blob/main/zips/embello-2020-03-31.zip
That's more recent than mine.
If I get some hacking time, I'll have a crack at revamping this whole setup. I've been using more peripherals / libs lately, and it strikes me that instead of going the "minimalist" way that I did, with all the memory and flash that's being left unused on these chips, it probably makes sense to just make an all-batteries-included version. Might be more useful.
The problem I see with Mecrisp, though, is that importing everything makes it hard to list the functions, b/c of lack of namespaces / vocabularies.
What do y'all think?
@hexagon5un I'm absolutely brand new to Mecrisp so I have no real strength of opinion but I think batteries included by default feels like a good default, along with detailed instructions on how someone could build an image with a smaller footprint?
(and as someone who lives in BoC country, I appreciate your handle :) )
@hexagon5un Just read the tutorials in Hackaday - amazing stuff (somehow I missed Forth in my life and never knew about it). After playing with blinking an external LED in a background task, I of course tried to look at the magic behind - only to find that the submodules in the Git repo are missing! Went to open a ticket... and saw this.
In plain words, I second the request! This is fascinating stuff :-)
