    Hi Art, I had a look at this code when you first posted it ...
    [FONT=courier new]
    --- extend sign of 16-bit word into a long
    : EXT16 ( sign16 -- sign32 ) DUP $8000 AND IF $1.0000 - THEN  \ convert 16 bit twos complement number to real decimal
    ;
    
    [/FONT]
    

    This is way better than my 2s>R. I got a bit carried away trying to make it flexible per byte length - not really called for.

    Thanks for your comments and improved code, Peter. Your changes are good learning for me. I have been away from this code long enough to need to study it again to understand. When I first looked at Tachyon I made this comment to myself in a note file: "NOT F****** AROUND WITH THIS ANYMORE. Tachyon is for chip heads that are way deeper than me. Bye bye . . ." but this environment is too beguiling so I came back. I'm still dog paddling but it's good.

    LOL :nerd:

    But as I sit in front of my Tachyon systems connecting to them easily via the Ethernet, transfer files up and down on FTP, manipulate virtual memory files on the SD file system and access webpages stored on them while I write some test code through Telnet I just think "this is pretty cool". All I need now is a P2 or another Prop as the terminal (+editor) and it's stand-alone. Maybe I might even try to tackle a simple text VGA + editor on the same Prop I'm not aware of any other Prop systems that can do all this on an unenhanced Prop, and I'm really only using the one cog! (at the moment). Or is that too "chip head" for you :smile:

    actually, when I want to play/work Propeller I have a laptop or tablet anyhow with a serial, ethernet / future Bluetooth (you have it already Peter)
    with all my other things (mail internet etc...)
    but I usually have no extra VGA plus kbd/mouse with me ... so I can't see a need for a real standalone.
    Intermediate option would be kind of texteditor based on ANSI-Terminal, that can run over serial, bluetooth, telnet - but a simple editor is everywhere ..
    so I think effort is better spent on other enhancements before the standalone idea.
    Like webserver with cgi/js/AJAX/xml support ... to write nice interactive WEB-GUIs

    And just to chime in: loadable PASM modules so we can have access to F32 and the rest of PASM OBEX

    As far as the webserver/AJAX goes this should be very straight forward once I get my head around this basic HTTP server. It's just another header type that needs the correct handler to create the correct response header back to the browser. I have a set of java powered guages that I use with the current spin webserver, all the ajax request does is query for a few variables that are updated server side and sent back that control the guages browser side. Everything is 8.3 file format already for the webserver in spin that Mike G wrote.

    I haven't had a look at Mike G's webserver .. pointer?
    Very soon after I discovered the Propeller I was a witness of the advent of Tachyon and therefore didn't do a lot in SPIN
    only some PASM for timecritical parts.
    I am also very interested in your gauges, as I am thinking the same direction.
    Currently I am working with Peter on a Forth-scriptabe webserver, which will make AJAX and dynamic page creation in general very simple and flexible. This will be really fun. It also offloads the script code from the image to the SD card.
    If you send me a PM (with email address) - I'd love to cooperate on this.

    In case anyone is wondering what this retired bus driver is up to in Tachyon. Here it is.


    Goal #1 a controller for my solar hydronic heat system.
    Goal #2 a system base on this controller which might be of interest to others.


    A bit of history. In about 1980 I designed and installed a solar heating system for my home. It is composed of six 4 x 8 foot collectors on a freestanding vertical wall on the roof of a new addition. There is a 2' over 12' roof sloping to the south which acts as a reflector to concentrate the sun. Storeage is in an insulated 1250 gallon tank buried under the kitchen. Heat was to be utilized by a 100' coil of copper pipe in the tank to preheat cold water on the way to the electric water heater and also for space heating via a heat exchanger in the return air of an external natural gas furnace. The space heating didn't work out well because of the many feet of moderately insulated ducts and the ancient furnace which finally croaked at the same time my marriage did the same. The water heating works quite well with tank temperatures of 178F observed with good weather in the fall. By 1982 I had made a decent controller using a 68HC11 board from New Micros Inc which had Forth resident. I whomped up a system with the NMI board at the heart and a lot of amazingly functional and durable point-to-point wired circuitry that I designed myself, with the help of some manuals and spec sheets, of course. It had a 2 line LCD display but required a PC to do real data collection and set parameters. And it had a really clunky power supply.


    About 5 years ago I re-engineered the power supply just before leaving town for 30 days. While I was gone one of the connections to the PS slipped out and the system was very unhappy. As we said in the USAF "INOP". So I decided to revive an old dream of a much simpler system with an HP48 calculator as the user interface. Meanwhile I have been operating the collector pump and drain valve using an HP48 connected to an X-10 powerline modem and appropriate relays. So operation is on a time of day basis without reference to any temperature measurements. Non-optimal. I won't go into all the false starts, including purchase of a newer board from New Micros just as they were going into bankruptcy, and other times I just lost my resolve ( not so young anymore ). However when I finally decided to try the Propeller and found Propforth and then Tachyon I kind of got my fire lit again.


    At first I was determined to have a system using the hp48 as above with a DMM for reading sensors and X-10 for control. The Prop is necessary because the calculator only has one port and no control lines for switching a port multiplexer. As I slogged ahead the points started adding up against the DMM idea even though the hp48 and the DMM could converse easily. I wanted to use the DMM because it would allow me to read my favorite sensors directly in degrees Kelvin. The AD590 temperature sensors require only 2 wires and may be powered by any voltage from 4 to 30, returning the reading as a regulated current of 1 microamp per deg K. One of my early discoveries with this sensor was that it should be strobed at a small duty cycle to prevent self-heating. This was done easily with the NMI board - more on this later. One of the big points against the DMM was when I learned that very few DMMs are really good at measuring microamps and I was pretty sure my Protek 506 was not one of them. So very recently I ditched the DMM and learned to use the TI-1115 16 bit ADC. This was my first attempt to use an interface other than RS-232. Thanks to Tachyon it wasn't very hard. I'm not measuring current anymore but a bonus is that with a carefully constructed resistor network I get a reading from the ADC identical to degrees F. Yeah, Celcius is more scientific - call me a troglodyte. The 16 bits may be overkill but it lets me measure a very wide range and place the important stuff near the center of the range.


    X-10 because the relays are cheap and I finally found a reliable powerline modem by JV Digital Engineering < jvde.us >. Already using X-10 with an HP-48. Will need to transfer that function to the Prop.


    HP48 because:
    - it has a serial port
    - it has a date/time system that can do very fancy things by running programs on a schedule in which the schedule can be
    modified under software control.
    - it has a very accessable and powerful programming environment at which I am skilled.
    - there are customizable menus, keyboard, display, port, strings, clock and heavy duty math and analysis functions.
    - I prefer the programming environment on the 48 but by moving to the HP50 data can be stored on SD memory.
    - all this in an extremely low power moderately expensive package.


    Alright, enough justification. Current status is a Prop with 3 RS-232 ports tested functional ( now only need 2 ), an Adafruit TI-1115 ADC board and a special counter circuit for addressing the sensors. 'Art, why do you need that?' Because I was thinking that the voltage needed to drive the AD590 was 3-30v but when I rechecked the specs I saw that it was 4-30. Dang! So I regressed to my glue chip days and put in a 74HC4017 decade counter. Powered from Vin on the Prop it supposedly needs more than the 3.3 volts from the Prop ports to clock it but I correctly guessed that it would work. I have pins Q1 through Q9 to drive sensors with Q0 reserved for 'all off'. To address all 9 sensors in sequence I only need to send a reset pulse ( should already be reset, but init anyway to be sure ) and a clock pulse for each sensor in turn, pausing 20ms to let the little feller wake up. Sensor 'n' can be individually addressed with a reset and 'n' clocks. Only two Prop ports are required - and 4017s can be chained indefinitely.


    So the hardware is all prototyped on a reasonably neat board ( see photo ) and is reasonably well tested for function. Software is next, Bwahahaha! My last heavy lifting in Forth or really any environment except HP User code was about 30 years ago. I want to do the project in Forth because that is what I know best outside of QuickBasic. So when I started with the Prop I only touched SPIN lightly before plunging into PropForth and then Tachyon, recommended by Loopy Byteloose. This causes me some extra effort in reading the Tachyon code sometimes. I like Tachyon and while I could use documentation that is more friendly to my skill level I understand why it is not that way and I have gotten better at combing the code files and creating my own.

    I comment heavily to aid in understanding code while writing it and for understanding when revisiting it later. Out of luck otherwise. Thanks to Peter for code improvements to some of my posts. Recently learned about B>W and W>B that way. I also sometimes give words names that are quirky and need improvement, i.e., EXT16 instead of 2s>R for a function to convert a twos-complement number to a real. Such assistance is welcome whenever someone feels so inclined. However I will admit to liking my own ideas a lot. Can you tell?

    Hi Art,

    I am perfectly happy with DS18B20 temperature sensors.
    They require only 3 - 5 V supply and give digital results.
    NO ADCs and the disturbances on long lines ...
    you can even run them with 2 wires - 1-wire + GND in parasitic mode.
    - and got them cheap, ready with cables and steel caps in the dozend from EBAY
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-New-DS18B20-Digital-Thermal-Probe-Temperature-Sensor-1m-Waterproof-/161015469495?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257d4515b7


    Just recently tried Peters 1-Wire driver for Tachyon and have a multi-bus extension ready, but not yet fully documented.

    A little Propeller Board can drive a LCD or even VGA display,
    does not need much power - great for a 24*365 application like yours.

    And now with the telnet & webserver in Tachyon, you can monitor and control everything from the WEB.

    really great

    Thanks, Markus. That is an outstanding link. I have seen them before and shied away because I know the AD590 so well and have not been eager to take on interfaces that are new to me. I am beginning to get over that. Tachyon helps. I will look into it.

    just load Peter's 1-WIRE.fth from DROPBOX or web-files
    there is a working example for the DS18B20 - you only have to get the one pin number right ;-)

    Since this is the Tachyon thread I will give you a Tachyon specific answer in this regard. You mentioned in another concurrent post tacked onto a 9 year old thread about assembly language for the Basic Stamp. Dude, the Basic Stamp is about Basic, and Tachyon Forth is about Forth although the source code is a good place to learn more about Propeller Assembly code, but assembly language is very specific to the processor, and they are all different. We are very helpful here on the Parallax forum but you might have to be a bit more specific about what you want to know as long as it is specifically about Parallax products :)

    Hi Peter,

    I had a running version on my Spinneret and while loading experimental stuff I got Dictionary full.
    Without reading the full doc I remembered RECLAIM and issued it.
    Apparently it reclaimed a lot - too much for me.
    So I tried to rebuild from latest sources.
    After a few attempts getting all right PCB, IP, loading sequence ... :-(
    I had a running system again -
    ftp and telnet are fine,
    but on trying http via Firefox by just typing the IP address I get this:

    will be useful for evaluating FORTH$.
    Also decoding of encoded URL messages .. the %20 -> BL stuff is more or less working.

    Well the Tachyon system isn't exactly a sealed black box is it!? Apply the EVAL$ (well done) to yourself :) and you should be able to step through parts of the code that would execute but at the very basic level just check /HOME.HTM works or even try it via FTP. Let me know what you find out.

    Are you able to put the server online? Maybe just PM me an IP and have ports forwarded?

    We know that every time we make assumptions that we get caught time and time again :)
    .HEX is really an internal word for printing nibbles in HEX characters.

    From the Tachyon 2.3 source code:
    [FONT=courier new]' .HEX ( n -- ) print nibble n as a hex character
    PRTHEX  ' ( n -- ) print n (0..$0F) as a hex character
             byte    toNIB
             byte    PUSH1,$30,PLUS
             byte    DUP,PUSH1,$39,GT,_IF,03,_BYTE,7,PLUS                      'Adjust for A..F
    PRTCH    byte    XCALL,xEMIT,EXIT
    [/FONT]
    

    I know that I later created a word called .DEC to print out a number in decimal so perhaps the name choice for .HEX could have been different in hindsight but numbers are normally forced to print in hex notation using either .LONG or .WORD or .BYTE plus a few other methods. Normally in Forth there is just the dot word and variations ( . .R U. U.R ) for printing numbers and you normally have to change the base beforehand. I have added those hex print words as mentioned plus .DEC and also a number format routine .NUM for specifying how a number should be printed by passing a control parameter which specifies:
    b07..00 = base
    b12..08 = digits
    b13 = use spaces in place of leading zeros
    b14 = force separators (decimals have a , every 3 places while others have a _ every 4 places)
    b15 = force sign (always + or - depending upon the number)


    Have fun!

    Just done a quick little update and consolidated the DUMP words for RAM, EEPROM, and SD so that you specify which when you DUMP memory. I might even add COG to the fray too.

    DUMP words are:
    DUMP ( addr cnt -- ) Dump memory as hex bytes along with an ASCII listing on each line
    DUMPW ( addr cnt -- ) Dump memory as hex words along with an ASCII listing on each line
    DUMPL ( addr cnt -- ) Dump memory as hex longs along with an ASCII listing on each line
    DUMPA ( addr cnt -- ) Dump memory as 64 ASCII characters per line

    RAM --- latching prefix to select normal RAM (or ROM) memory for DUMP listing
    EE --- latching prefix to select EEPROM for DUMP listing
    SD --- latching prefix to select SD memory for DUMP listing

    Peter,
    in working on the Tachyon extensible scriptable WebServer I am wondering.

    If the webserver is not intended to be only static and preloaded on SD-card,
    then .HTM, *.JPG etc. and .HTX script files need to also be ADDED and not only be changed remotely.

    The SD filesystem and the FTP-server do not seem to be designed to create new files remotely - atm at least.
    trying to put a non existing file gives

    I've been able to get away with it and even though I have been using dummy files and renaming them (yes), I see the need to be able to add new files. I don't think it's a big deal to add the extra sections to the file system but I do want to make sure that files are non-fragmented and even with a very basic 4GB card there is plenty of room there to allocate contiguous sectors and clusters. So you might not have to wait too long for this extra functionality to be added.

    As for memory I have been using EPRINT to store text strings to the top half of a 64K EEPROM to give me extra room but I may also look at using the SD memory a little bit more, either for dictionary, precompiled blobs, or even direct "scripting" from text files. So far I've been able to add a rather largish application on top of all these layers and still have memory free! I do a RECLAIM just before I add the application though.

    Peter,
    FTP Rename RNFR & RNTO seem to work - see latest EASYNET.fth - still commented

    I just figured out how to create and access a data array for my temperature sensor readings and I had a *lot* of joy. And we all know what that means :tongue:

    BTW, to make my table I used:

    #9 WORDS: tempsens

    How is that different from:

    TABLE tempsens 2 9 * ALLOT

    There seems to be a confusing number of ways to indicate comments in the source code.

    /
    { }
    '
    ''
    (

    I am clear on the first two. Could use an explanation of the others.

    And while I'm on a roll, what is the meaning of the vertical bar in \ test quadrant 3|4 ?

    Mainly to make it easier to read and clearer to see the structure, in the first there are WORD variables, 9 of them in fact, in the second it's a table for constants or variables maybe and there are 9 words or is that 2 lots of 9 bytes? So the first example is a lot clearer.

    The \ (not /) is a Forth standard as is ( too except I echo anything inside a ( which is normally a stack comment but totally ignore anything after a \ up to the end of line.
    The { } are intended for multi-line block comments.
    ' is not a comment directive in Forth but it is to the Spin compiler which is used to process the PASM and data structures that make up the precompiled kernel.
    " is not a comment directive either but is used in TF either in the form of a character literal "$" or for strings such as " HELLO WORLD" PRINT$
    But you missed some too :)
    I use the --- a lot since it allows me to space out a comment --- --- --- --- out to where I want it --- just so forum BB code doesn't gobble up whitespace plus --- does not clutter or confuse reading code like 1405 7 / \ is confusing
    There's also \\\ and *** but I use that mainly to disable lines of code and to distinguish this from a real comment although they work the same way.

    It could also be said that IFDEF and IFNDEF are conditional comment directives too because if they fail they end up working like a block comment { up to the following }

    If you're on a roll it could be dangerous, that is if you're a pig and it's a pork roll. But you mentioned a symbol being used in a comment but a comment can be anything at all, however just to satisfy your curiosity the | is just a separator referring to the quadrants 1 (top right) 2 (top left) 3 (bottom left) 4 (bottom right).

    The | is also used to build bytes into a table instead of the more standard but unsightly C, as the | works more like a border in a real table so 45 | 07 | 23 | looks more like a table than 45 C, 07 C, 23 C, doesn't it?

    I was so used to having only one or two characters to indicate comments that I hadn't noticed that ( would do it. I was using a \ before the ( . I can see now that seeing ( and not \ ( was confusing me. That's cleared up.

    Here's another.
    From the kernel:
    { quick test
    pub TC ( ch -- )
     	CASE
    	"4" =[ ." Knock on the door, it's a 4" ]=
    	"5" =[ ." Let's jive, it's a 5" ]=
    	"7" "9" ..[ ." Pick up sticks, it's more than six" ]=
    ;
    }
    
    Can't determine what =[ and ]= do. Also ..[
    I know the whole clip is a comment but I don't what's going on there. Help?
