The AVR-FORTH version for ARDUINO is available here:
A simple token-threaded implementation of Forth for the Arduino

This is a work in progress :)

To build:

open the Arduino software IDE
load this file
select a port and target Arduino board
press the [Verify] or [Upload] button

To run:

build it as above, using [Upload]
open the Serial Monitor (ctrl-shift-m)
type a forth command (eg - 1 2 3 + + .s .)

Notes:

There is no support at this time for creating words. I am working on that ... for now this only works via the Serial Monitor

To turn on the LED at pin 13, do this:

13 1 pin 
13 0 pin \ this turns off the LED

....
