About the Author
----------------
I'm a 68 year old retired electronics technician with 47 years industry experience. I started learning Forth in April 2014 and soon adopted it for all my embedded hardware needs.

Mecrisp-Stellaris 0.1 was released in June 2013 by Matthias Koch.

This site grew from my extensive Mecrisp-Stellaris notes which I made public because there really isn't much information about modern Forth available on-line these days. I try to keep errors to a minimum but you know how it is ...
