This workshop will stand in the light of the forth interpreter on the pic chip. Forth enables you to program your pic life and thus edit and see the changes in behavior right away. By learning to control tv tubes with forth this workshop will cover..
1. introduction forth, the forth toolchain.
1.1. interactivity, giving commands and updates to a live system
1.2. modularity, solve problems in pieces and interactive testing
2. technical applied,
2.1. electronic 2 bit DAC with resistors for 4 levels (sync,b/w,grey)
2.2. logic, PAL sync & stuff
2.3. software, interrupts (hsync timer) & multitasking
3. individual project, build some pic powered visuals with the knowledge gained.
