Input could be accomplished via bluetooth. Or, as long as I'm dreaming, why not just make it be Wifi. I could connect up to the watch to feed it commands over a wireless telnet like session.<br /><br />Alas, I don't quite see the pieces of the puzzle to make that quite come together.<br /><br />But, I can treat the Model 100 as the embedded system that it is.<br /><br />And yes, I can load forth on it: https://github.com/malyn/MFORTH<br /><br />It's not quite as slick a package as a wearable. But, it's got a great keyboard, so that's a plus.Ben Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833753747177544979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12753102.post-29809733051354736472017-07-09T23:31:42.651-04:002017-07-09T23:31:42.651-04:00The logical next step is to get a mini Arduino, in...The logical next step is to get a mini Arduino, install a Forth on it and homebrew some hardware to make your own portable computer that runs on 4aa batteries. Logical is what I mean. And really really fun.grant rettkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439997834215273665noreply@blogger.com
