Brainfuck Interpreter on Arduino
Most likely, many who have studied programming heard about the Brainfuck language . Of these many, some implemented the interpreter of this language. I decided to build an interpreter based on the Arduino so that I could carry it with me and stuff the simplest programs on the road. Wait, you say, but there have been interpreters for every taste on smartphones for a long time, why should you carry such a box with you? Because it's fucking awesome!
What I needed:
1. Arduino Pro mini;
2. LCD 16x2 i2c;
3. Four buttons;
4. Battery 18650;
5. Switch;
6. Wires;
7. Development board, on which to collect everything;
8. Box for housing.
Putting it all together. We hang the buttons on pins 2, 3, 4, 5. We connect the screen to A4 (SDA), A5 (SCL). For buttons, I do not use pull-up resistors (I use internal ones), maybe this is not good, but the parts are smaller, but for me this is more important. How to program pro mini read on the Internet. Nothing complicated. All the sketch code is on github .
A few moments. Yes, the processing of pushing buttons, taking into account the bounce of contacts, may not be the most successful, especially since “magic numbers” are used - in short, gloom. The program has five modes:
0 - menu (by default), to display information about other modes and go to them;
1 - editing;
2 - execution;
3 - save to EEPROM;
4 - load from EEPROM.
When loading a program from EEPROM, it will be possible to edit it (the dialed program will be replaced with the loaded one) and resave or execute it.
Everything works for me from a 18650 battery, although the Arduin is five volt. Good luck!
