MOGWAI NANO 0.5 is available on the GitHub repository — the densest release since launch. What’s new The engine can finally run things in parallel. A task ‘name’ do { … } launches a block of code on its own native thread, with its own fully isolated engine instance — its own stack, its own … Read more
MOGWAI NANO 0.4 is out on the GitHub repository. What’s new A real library system makes its debut. Units let you store reusable MOGWAI NANO code directly on flash — an RTC helper library, a sensor wrapper, any piece of logic you don’t want to copy-paste from project to project. Installed remotely from Studio, executed … Read more
MOGWAI NANO 0.3 is out on the GitHub repository — the densest release since launch. What’s new A display makes its debut. The SSD1306, the most common 128×64 OLED display on the market, is now natively supported — text, pixels, lines, filled or outlined rectangles, and 1-bit-per-pixel image drawing. Rather than drawing pixel-by-pixel in RPN, … Read more
MOGWAI NANO 0.2 is out on the GitHub repository — the first update since going public, and it brings real substance. What’s new I2C makes its debut, with seven primitives covering the essentials — opening and closing a device by name, reading and writing raw data or specific registers, scanning the bus to discover what’s … Read more
Building MOGWAI NANO taught me a lot about .NET nanoFramework — not from the official documentation, but from the field, through multi-hour endurance tests and bugs that only surfaced after twenty minutes or two hours of runtime. Some of these behaviors are documented somewhere, quietly. Others, I found nowhere before living through them myself. This … Read more
It’s official: MOGWAI NANO v0.1.0 is out, and the GitHub repository is open to everyone. In a nutshell MOGWAI NANO brings the MOGWAI scripting engine to microcontrollers — ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico W as of today, with the exact same binary running unmodified on both. Write comfortable code on your PC, with all the … Read more
Some ideas linger for years in the back of your mind, never quite finding the right moment or the right tool to become real. Getting MOGWAI to run on a microcontroller was one of them. An Old Itch, a New Tool MOGWAI, my RPN scripting engine, has been around for about ten years. Open-sourced this … Read more
