+ | - a very small computer which is programmed | ||
+ | via just 3 push buttons as KEYBOARD | ||
+ | and 4 LEDs as " | ||
+ | and designed to control some INPUTS and OUTPUTS | ||
+ | - digital and analog | ||
+ | |||
+ | This project has been worked on for a few years now, | ||
+ | but MyCo / TPS has just gotten a Second Life, | ||
+ | as Franzis just launched a new version - hardware is identical, but more programming examples | ||
+ | https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== AND the New Book is out now: | ||
+ | You can actually play with the 40 described examples | ||
+ | ON PAPER ONLY TO START WITH, to write and execute your own code as well, | ||
+ | Or use coins for program execution to see what happens internally | ||
+ | Or use pins for programming - no electronics at all ( and noForth for now ) | ||
+ | for example use the 2 pages | ||
+ | - one with the program, one showing the current contents of all " | ||
+ | https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== And additional information regarding the 3rd book about MyCo_TPS had to be stored somewhere, | ||
+ | So I started a facebook group. | ||
+ | Just go there, start at the bottom and see additional explanations and examples. | ||
+ | Even doing the HELLO WORLD ... | ||
+ | Now this MyCo_TPS is as well running on the microbit, and on the RPI soon . | ||
+ | OK , these 2 not in Forth yet, but it is probably unavoidable | ||

+ | Most of the German description should be covered by the Print book we had published in English: | ||

+ | |||
+ | We prepared a cut down version of the book as a PDF for download and print, | ||
+ | you find it at | ||

+ | We added into the extended book now the Forth Implementation that Michael Kalus kindly programmed for the TI MSP430: | ||

The kit described in the book teaches programming in a minimal and simple way. No PC is required to handle the kit. There are only a few program statements that MyCo can execute. But that shows and demonstrates many aspects of programming. All programs for the easy-to-build hardware kit are documented and tested." | The kit described in the book teaches programming in a minimal and simple way. No PC is required to handle the kit.
