Re: vim and FORTH-"IDE"-ish environment

In Vim, it should be as easy as `:w /dev/ttyACM0`, and you could map something like so: `nmap <F12> :w /dev/ttyACM0<CR>`.

Hi,

(I am on Linux.)

just for fun, entertainment and doing something new, I installed
Mecrisp-Stellaris FORTH on a STM32F103C8T6 ( aka "Blue Pill" )
micorcontroller board.

FORTH is interactive (has a REPL) and is a interpretive
(interpretative?) and compiler language at the same time.

For ceating new compiled code on the microcontroller is
as easy as cat-ting the sourcecode this way:

cat sourcecode.fs > /dev/ttyACM0

Now you can execute your program via the prompt you get
with a serial terminal which is connected via /dev/ttyACM0.

But what has all this to do with vim?

I want to write code in FORTH with vim (what else? ;), send
the code to the microcontroller and - if possible - want to
replace the extern console of the serial terminal with something
inside vim. I not neccessarily want to avoid the serial terminal --
I want to avoid the "external"...the switching between windows.

I found some rudimentary attempts of something like that (still
in need of an external something), which call 'cat' to transfer
the code to the microprocessor.
But those posts are from a long time ago.

Since vim got tasks and pipes and subprocesses I would like to ask
for some keywords or pointers to start with to acchieve what I have
described above.

Where should I start while trying to read the wheel a second time...?
:)

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Cheers!
Meino
