The ARDUINO electronic card
ARDUINO is an electronic card concept using a versatile micro-controller.
There are many models of Arduino boards, this one being one of the most popular.
The Uno model shown here has:
- 32 kb of memory to store programs;
- 2 kb of RAM, a 1 kb EEPROM to store parameters;
- clocked at the frequency of 16 MHz!
This for the modest sum of around twenty euros (for the authentic ones), even ten euros for the clones.

Different FORTHs for Arduino
Forth is a computer programming language and stack-based programming environment.
One of the advantages of interpreted languages - such FORTH - is that Forth can be used directly to execute commands interactively, gradually develop a program and immediately test subroutines by executing them directly.
Currently, FORTH is the only programming language that compiles and works on the Arduino.
The FORTH compiler is currently the only compiler running directly in the ATmega328 on the Arduino.
